How is plastic recylced?


The short answer to Andy Brunning's question, of course, is that it's recycled badly and far too infrequently.

I'm typing this up on Earth Day - though it won't post for a month or so now - and am just torn up that less than 20% of the PETE is being recycled, but I watch my students through water bottles away all the time even though the recycling bin in two inches to the left of the trash can.

I don't have any idea why recycling is so infrequent because it just seems like an automatic thing to me at this point. I'm the one carrying cans away from meetings because there aren't recycling bins in our meeting rooms.
