Metal, paper, plastic: for recycling, one of these things is not like the others (spoiler, it's plastic!). But the plastics industry claims otherwise. Here's what's actually going on. #AmericaRecyclesDay #MythcycleBusters
Only a few types of plastic can be recycled at all But they mostly make low-quality products that can't be recycled again. That's what we call downcycling, not recycling. #AmericaRecyclesDay #MythcycleBusters
That's the best case scenario. The vast majority of plastics are either not recyclable, degrade too much in the process to be useful, or are so worthless that there's no market for them. #AmericaRecyclesDay #MythcycleBusters
