I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately… The idea of “recycling” plastic is largely a scam designed to keep you buying plastic items.<\/p>\n
Industry documents reveal there was never much hope for plastic recycling to be economically viable. Only about 9% of all plastics can even be recycled. The rest? It’s incinerated or sinks to the bottom of the ocean.<\/p>\n
They knew if the public thought recycling was working, we wouldn’t be as concerned about it. This means the plastic industry intentionally misled us.<\/p>\n
The real solution isn’t just about recycling, it’s about avoiding plastics altogether to protect the environment AND our health.
