Plastic Recycling Doesn't Work and Never Will Work

 

[T]he plastics industry has waged a decades-long campaign to perpetuate the myth that the material is recyclable. This campaign is reminiscent of the tobacco industry’s efforts to convince smokers that filtered cigarettes are healthier than unfiltered cigarettes.

The above quote is from Judith Enck and Jan Dell's article in The Atlantic and lays it all out fairly straight forwardly.

We use too many man-made polymers.

Man-made polymers are bad for us.

They can't really be recycled.

I'm pretty sure that Everything Into Oil was nothing more than a pipe dream.
