The problem being: how many people have access to recycling their plastic waste? And how much of that ‘recycled’ plastic waste actually gets recycled, as opposed to shipped to Thailand (or where-ever) and dumped in landfills?
I’m in the uk and while we’re technically all big on recycling here, many households don’t have access to it (as there’s no room on the streets for the extra bins) and lot of people here also don’t drive, and aren’t living near recycling collection/disposal facilities, so won’t be recycling that way either.
Agreed.
