    Interesting to compare aluminium recycling with plastic recycling

    When the true aim is to recycle material, industry comes to the party and you get a refund scheme, even purpose built deposit facilities that can be set up locally

    When the aim is to misdirect public attention toward a non solution you get government mandated plastics recycling bins and penalties for “contamination” plus never ending messaging (gotta keep the lie alive with constant repetition lmaooo). Coercion is just a lowkey admission that the material isn’t worth recycling

    The real question isn’t how to get the plastics industry to change, it’s how to make the ruse no longer a tenable position for governments
