Recycling Works. If We Dont Counter the Naysayers, It Wont

2024-04-29 14:11:23| Waste Age

Youve probably seen a newspaper, television, or online article insisting that recycling isnt working. They say what we put in our recycling bins doesnt get recycled. Instead, it ends up in landfills. Some of these stories come from organizations with an axe to grind against plastic products. They fear that successful plastic recycling will undercut their efforts to eliminate plastics, so they insist plastics cant be recycled. Some come from reporters who pass them on without taking the time to fact check them. Others pop up in letters to the editor or in online comments.
