It’s a farce to pretend that plastic can be reused/sustainable in any way. Most “recycled” plastic ends up just shipped off to pollute developing countries in Africa and Asia.
I try where possible but companies have cottoned on to this and now charge more for the greener option.
" Oh you want to buy recycled paper towel that comes wrapped in paper and not plastic? Thats $2 more than the non-recycled one which is wrapped in plastic, cough up you green cuck! "
yup, china has mostly stopped plastic trash from the us, i think malaysia is making moves to prevent that too.
its difficult because plastic is basically toxic when you try to melt it or dissolve it into a usable plastic again, the process is probably more expensive too.
Plastic recycling is literally pointless though.

Its why I throw it in the bin! Rather poison my own landfill than someone else’s.
The best solution is to try to avoid buying things with plastic, and repurposing plastic that you do have to buy.
It’s not really that much of an answer, but plastic recycling is entirely greenwashing by the industry.
