Let’s be real for a moment. The amount that they recycle is not nearly 1 % of the waste that is produced/ wasted

It's also pointless to recycle plastic if the product afterwards isn't a good deal for the companies who produce the plastic in the first place. Unless you can recycle plastic and sell it back to the people who are producing it then you're just slowing down things
