    Recycling would work perfectly if everyone would do it properly. This means to separate manually all different materials that are bonded together. For example, with a glass bottle on which there's a plastic cap and a paper sticker, you should remove the paper sticker and the plastic cap from the bottle. Also, dirty paper and cardboard shouldn't be thrown in the recyclable bin, and other very dirty stuff should be cleaned in order to avoid contaminating all the clean paper and cardboard... In many European cities, there are separate bins for each materials (paper, metals, glass and plastic), which is even better and much easier to recycle afterward The problem with recycling is that the infrastructures required to recycle all the different materials don't use the same processes. Thus, if a cardboard recycling facility ends of with tons of plastic bonded with the cardboard it tries to recycle, it becomes very complex to recycle any of it without manually separating everything, which is an impossible task because it would be too time consuming Sorry if my english isn't perfect

    In Europe, sorting plastics into their own waste container became mandatory a few years ago. But when the Finnish public broadcasting company YLE started investigating how plastics are recycled in Europe, it was revealed that the plastics were sent to be stored in China, where they also ended up in the sea, because European warehouses were full and the technology for efficient recycling of plastics doesn't yet exist. However, I don't know if things have changed at all since then.

    Nope. They haven't. Not one bit. Best thing to do with plastic is probably to just burn if for energy. I don't know if it's just an urban legend but in Switzerland tales are being told of incineration plants having a hard time incinerating because since we're so good at sorting garbage not enough paper and cardboard is in our trash. Frankly, I think the approach to saving the planet needs to be balanced. Don't go dumping used oil into a river obviously but don't fret that much over recycling either. I feel like we are burdened with so many dos and don'ts that people are just sucked dry of both energy and giving a fuck. I said the same thing back during covid. They made us follow so many stupid rules that were obviously dumb that I predicted that once they knew how the virus actually operated, a lot of people would be done with complying to any guidelines. And that's exactly what happened.

    Recycling reduces crowding in garbage barrels and by extensions lessons the likelihood of encountering refuse related pest problems. You also save money on trash bags and don't go through as many when you don't have plastic and cardboard products taking up space. Most cities only allow you one garbage barrel and one recycling barrel and have a laundry list of rules that give them any excuse to not collect your trash, forcing you to wait a week. This can include having your barrel being too full. So if your garbage isn't being collected because there's too much then what are you supposed to do with all the other trash you have getting thrown away in the meantime? Composting and recycling should be required simply for sanitary reasons alone. There are different classifications of waste and you make your waste collectors job easier and safer by ensuring it's all separated into proper categories.

    Thanks Roger for being honest with us as usual. As much as I know in the recycling world only: paper, cardboard, glass and aluminum have the best chance of being really recycled. Plastic as you showed in this video is hard to recycle due to its various types and relatively cheep manufacturing of new plastic vs recycling it. By the way I don’t have a problem with it being burnt in an electric generating incinerator with proper smoke filters on it. That is better than the plastic ending up in a land field or worse in the ocean or other waterways.

    Problem is the term "recycling" is being used somewhat wrongly. When it comes to plastic, it's not so much about using the trash to make new plastic products (i.e. actually recycling the trash), but rather about disposing it separately. The swiss or the dutch sort their trash and the plastic gets burned using special filters as not to pollute the air. So it does make sense to have different(ly colored) bins for different types of trash. It's just the actual recycling isn't quite there yet.

    I live in Australia and I used to drive a Tipper for a job. I would collect building site rubbish and take it to different tips multiple times a day. The plastic that we should be concerned about is not that which we throw away in the recycle bin everyday after use. Things like plastic bottles and containers. It's all the other plastic products that we use everyday that end up at the tip. Try this, walk around you house and in one single room count everything that is made from plastic, or has in part plastic components. You will get into the hundreds very quickly. And this is only the tip of the ice berg. Then think about all the construction sites where plastics are used instead of traditional materials. Like plastic concrete reinforcement, plastic plumbing pipe, and plastic electrical wire insulation, etc. All of this rubbish amounts to more than what we throw in the bin everyday. And it never gets recycled, it just gets buried under the ground.

    The funny thing about this is you actually do learn about this in elementary or middle school how many times plastic can be recycled and become less efficient, but surprisingly everybody just forgets about it and not actually pay attention to it. Once I got taught this in elementary I ask the teacher why do we even recycled plastic in the first place and there was a long silence, she was very surprised the thought never crossed her mind.

Some which can be melted, but are full of glass reinforcement, be it beads or fibers... All that and so much more... I guess it didnt help my cynicism a single bit...

    As someone whose worked in injection molding for 6 years, yes. There are tons of different types of plastic, even if they all look the same. Companies try to use regrind in as many products as they can to save money but some just can't use regrind because it will make the product too fragile and can cause it to burn or melt in the mold. However, some products are actually made of 90% or more reground plastic. I don't doubt that companies won't spend millions trying to sort through all the plastic. Hell, factories won't take the time or effort to try and grind up and re-use the plastic that runs in and out of the machine before it starts. (We have to waste a lot of plastic trying to get the right color and right temperature before we start making the product, so it's just a big pile of goo coming out of the machine)

    Reusing plastic once doesn't actually do ANYTHING to solve this problem, it only defers it briefly. Even if plastic could've been be reused multiple times, 10% of 10% of 10% would get us 0.1% recycled after 3 iterations, which is pretty much identical to being non-recyclable. Recycling only slightly prolongs the usage, but as long as we have one-time use plastic goods and packaging, reusing a a piece of plastic once or fee times is irrelevant - regardless whether we recycle or not we will dump plastic at the exactly same levels as we produce new plastic. And our production constantly increases.

    This is an excellent breakdown of some of the issues with recycling. Here are a few notes: - Reducing use of plastics is *far more* important than recycling. - Glass, aluminum, steel, and so on are more recyclable - Avoid "wishcycling". Don't put stuff into recycling unless you know it's recyclable, otherwise you may just contaminate it. - Cardboard is heavily recyclable and recycled. - Paper can be recycled, but check your local company to see what is supported. Most plain office paper can be recycled, but glossy or plasticized paper usually can't be.

Has practically endless uses. Plastic soda bottles? Great for plant starters, you can even save a few bucks on groceries that way.

    @@QwertyCaesar its funny you mentioned reusing plastic bags as garbage bags, as I USED to do this. Then they introduced reusable bags, which are great in theory if you're an ultra scheduled and organised person, with a comfy 9-5 job, and all your 'life' ducks in a row...but i always always forget my bags, because i never ever PLAN to go shopping- its something I just shove in desperately between appointments and shifts etc, sporadically and willy nilly. On top of this, reusable bags do very poorly as replacement garbage bags. Therefore, the end result is a staggeringly large, and ever-growing, collection of reusable plastic bags, that i never reuse, because no amount of good intentions are going to improve my memory, enlargen my purse, or make my schedule more manageable/organisable. Perhaps, if we didn't live in desolate gig economy environment, I could have a nice routined 9-5, with FULL time hours and benefits, allowing for ACTUAL organisation of my actual life and therefore the sheer luxury of having a modicum of control over what I do, when, and where. Point being, they are actively making even holding down a half decent job harder than it should ever be, and that was BEFORE the pandemic- let alone how often they actively undermine things like attempts to recycle and reuse! These companies are attacking the fabric of our species like a cancer, bent on growth at the almost MANDATORY cost of our destruction. Yes, I truly believe that the CEOs of these companies are genuinely disappointed if they can achieve domination in their industry WITHOUT abusing a child or killing a puppy. That is who they are. These CEOs of these companies, kill millions and millions of people. And if they aren't stopped, they will very likely end our entire planet. Making Hitler- get this- LESS destructive and evil than Oil company CEOs. I know, i know, that sounds grossly hyperbolic on its face, but i swear, the math doesn't lie, its TRUE!!! The only way the CEOs are ANY different is that they do not discriminate- they want ALL living creatures to suffer needlessly. So i suppose, at the very least, they can stand up proudly and say they represent the equal and TOTALLY indiscriminate destruction of all life in this planet. They certainly don't pick and choose- to them, all must die.

    I work in recycling (in the UK) and there's much truth in this - but also some falsehoods. So, plastics are terrible for the environment and companies do tend to hid truths about their recyclability. Plastics can be recycled more than once, in general, but it depends on their quality to begin with. Each time you recycle a plastic, the hydrocarbon chain gets shorter and the polymer becomes weaker. So can you recycle a plastic bottle into another plastic bottle? Yes; but not of the same quality. After that, that new but thinner, weaker plastic bottle may be recycled again - but into a plastic bag. After that, eventually the plastic becomes so weak there's no value in it any more and it isn't recyclable. The comment below that recycling is a charade... it really depends where you work. Some plants do tend to mostly care about paper and cardboard and not want to deal in plastics. I knew one (UK based) council that was locked into a 7 year contract where the plant would only take plastic bottles for recycling and no other plastics. Not great. But it isn't a charade to recycle plastics - citizens, companies and authorities just shouldn't hide behind this as the solution - it's not, obviously. It's better than NOT recycling and reusing plastic, but not better than cutting its use out completely. It's slowing the issue, keeping voldermort at bay if you will lol... rather than putting and end to it. Also... if plastic recycling is all mixed together it won't be too contaminated to work with, but just more expensive to work with. Plastics are difficult to 'contaminate' as they can be washed very easily. Cardboard and paper with food on, different story, that's pretty much useless now. The companies like to put recycling symbols on everything because it makes them look better; here in the UK they say 'check local recycling' - many plastics can be recycled at 'the tip', less so in your household recycling bin. The 'plastic types' system we have here, 1-7, both helps and hinders people's understanding of what plastics are actually recyclable. Things like kids toys and coathangers could be made out of a mixture of types and so aren't generally recyclable. Mostly, 'household plastics' which can be recycled at home are made from standardised types - type 1 (PET - your standard plastic bottle), type 2, HDPE (milk bottles etc)... where it gets confusing is that, type 5 is polypropylene and type 6 is polystyrene (for example). A local authority may ask you to put 'plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays' in your boxes or bins for recycling... which means that a food tray made out of type 5, PP, IS recyclable, and a yoghurt pot, made out of type 6, polystyrene, is too... but expanded versions of these (packaging polypropylene and polystyrene) are NOT recyclable. Also, PP (type 5) may be in the form of a plastic bag and your local authority may not want to take these as there's little value in them / harder and more expensive to recycle at kerbside / people sometimes hide things in them...). So.. forget about what the companies say, or any numbered system.. and ask your local authority what they take. It also comes down to the fact collection crews have to check your bins... if councils accepted an extensive list of recycling, crews would be there for ages checking each bin against a list and would never get their rounds done. 'Is this coathanger a type 5?... or a mixture of types which means it's not recyclable... hmmm'. Not feasible! So local authorities make it simple - plastic bottles, pots, tubs, trays. If anything like the UK, the recyclable 'bottles, pots, tubs and trays' (that you can recycle at home) will be those in between hard plastics and soft plastics - 'a bit of give' in them. If you can't bend it / it's brittle and tough, not recyclable at home (yes at the tip), if you can rip it, or it snaps easily like expanded polystyrene, also not recyclable at home, most likely. So items with this 'bit of give in' will be like bottles of fizzy drinks, plastic milk cartons, tubs of washing up stuff - all things you can bend, but wouldn't be able to rip with your bare hands unless you were the hulk! I'm not sure on how the US works and can't speak for all UK local authorities and plants, but the authority I work for is leading and we ensure we recycle ALL our plastics wherever possible in the UK (98% +). Some things leave the country, like paper and card (India have bloody good paper mills to be fair!) - but plastics generally stays because it's so important to control and ensure it's handled correctly. The main problem is, even if you recycle plastic diligently and correctly, eventually, it will end up in the ground, or be incinerated at the very best. You're fighting a losing battle with it. I don't think it's a big lie more than it's the 'elephant in the room'. From being on the inside, I'd say that most places (maaaaybe not companies, who knows - but they're not the ones who have to collect the stuff!) are trying their best with this issue, rather than trying to pull the wool over your eyes. Like anything you're never going to have a perfect system. But for now, until we can come up with something better, I'd say keep on recycling - it's not the answer to it all, but it's better than digging a hole and putting it in there, for sure.

    @@istvanendreviletel545 Reused =/= recycled. If I take a plastic water bottle, empty it, then refill it with water, I'm reusing the bottle. If I instead take the empty bottle and melt it down to be made into a shirt, I'm recycling the bottle. Reusing means I don't have to do anything special to get another use from an item. I might need to rinse it, but I don't need to melt and reform it. Recycling means melting it down to be turned into something else, and every time plastic is recycled, the long polymer chains are broken into shorter ones. Shortening a polymer chain makes it weaker, and trying to recycle any plastic twice typically makes it way too weak to do anything. Imagine if the process of recycling wood would turn oak into balsa, because that's pretty much what happens with plastic. Also, the 3 Rs are in order of environmental impact. Reduce, reuse, recycle. If you want to have a green lifestyle, reducing your consumption of goods is the most effective way. If I reduce how much I drive, I burn less gas. Recycling is last because it requires energy to turn something into something else. You are correct about how going green has been forced on people, instead of the massive companies that are destroying the world. The thing is that going green was started by big companies to blame their actions on individuals.

    It's all technically true; the responsibility to recycle has been shifted onto the consumer nowadays. Companies don't have to push for producing less plastic when the conversation has been turned around onto how much it's the consumers duty to recycle the plastic that they needlessly buy. It's not about recycling plastic, as that doesn't work. You can't indefinitely break down plastic in the hopes of it being reshaped into another useless plastic packaging. You just need to really limit the amount of plastic you buy. That's all you can do. And don't even bring up PLA into the conversation - that's another lovely green washing lie people tell themselves (and which companies have hijacked for marketing and making themselves look so "green", whatever the hell that means nowadays). PLA can be broken down, sure, but it needs very specific conditions to do so which are unattainable in nature. Otherwise, PLA which ultimately ends up on landfills degrades just as long as regular plastic. And people are naive enough to believe companies actually believe in the slogans they use.

    It came from the land - it goes back into the land, without burning it thus without releasing carbon and energy into the atmosphere. There's nothing "green" about consumerism and convenience, and it doesn't matter what we look at - drinks, food, electronics, appliances, renovations, construction, etc. Heck, instead of entertaining ourselves by sitting with our friends and family and exchanging stories - we burn electricity to run out devices to burn electricity for the internet's infrastructure and to burn electricity on Netflix's server that individually sends you mind boggling amounts of data exclusively for you do watch something, instead of transmitting it just once for everyone like TV used to work. Plastic buried in landfills might actually be among the least problematic parts of it all.

    @@s.kasecky8156 waaait. Technically it would've been correct, IF we didn't produce new plastic. Recycling is still absolutely essential to reduce amount of new plastic that we produce, but it can't solve the problem because it merely prolongs the plastics life and we still need to produce plastic.

    @@s.kasecky8156 what is actually more ecological, is not buying. Period. Not buying stuff, plastic stuff, metal stuff, electronic stuff - buy as little stuff you can survive on. You know what's the only thing that has consistently shown to reduce emissions? Economic collapse of capitalist markets and end of consumerism. We don't have _any_ other certain ways that can work, the rest are just measures to maybe make the climate change not as bad as it could've been but still bad and getting worse year after year. The most ecological countries per citizen aren't European or Scandinavian countries with their strict standards and ecologically conscious population - it's the countries like India where the people often don't have the means to constantly buy more and more stuff.

    You have to keep in mind that businesses also compete with each other. For instance the coal industry has long used the environmental movement to go after nuclear. The issue is that non-profits end up manipulating the pubic in ways that corporations never could. So, if a nuclear corporation went on the offensive against the coal industry, the public would side with the coal industry because the non-profits support coal. If you really want to clean things up in this country, you need to decouple for profit businesses from non-profit ones. You also need to put in more regulations on non-profits so that they don't fall into the hands of evil men who use them as a weapon against the poor.

    A fine example of this: Talking about environment problems in media will always point fingers at the consumers for using plastic, etc.... While consumers most of the times don't even have a choice, if you go to the supermarkets and there's only plastic bags available, whose fault is it? The polluting corporation and factories should take a lot more responsibility for their pollutions, especially since they gain from it.

    It's remarkable how much ingenuity goes into tricking people into believing things that are demonstrably untrue, while no ingenuity at all goes into using less awful materials, methods and fuels to create products of equal or greater value, with less harm to the environment that even CEOs and such kinda sorta still have to live in. I mean, they _could_ start terraforming Mars, but it would still take about a thousand years longer than this planet would last at the current rate... assuming they could mine enough water, gases and other necessary materials from wherever they expect to, which would be an enormous undertaking, especially without a planet capable of supporting the immense workforce it would require. And then they'd have to explain to that workforce that no, they're not allowed on the nice new planet, it's only for rich people... so in summary, not the most viable plan for the future there.

    Also he should put in that no laws exist for corporations ever unless you're rich enough to sue them because there is literally no enforcement of employees' rights, but good luck for the majority who can't afford lawyers and get to experience pleasant sensations as a result. Sensations such as forced working weekends with no religious exemptions being tolerated, your unavailability is flat out refused, part-time employment but 10 hour days, barely making a living wage while you puke from a constant diet of ramen and come up short on your monthly bills, groping, pompous pig-headed management with such shit experience they enable those long work hours because they're mentally handicapped while engaging in extreme micro-managing or even bullying until coworkers commit suicide. Add a dash of more and more corporations enforcing signing away your right to sue in lieu of "in house arbitration" where the arbitrators are "totally neutral". Oh, and when the company wants to clean an entire department they engage in a witch hunt of false accusations and tell those they surround in a tiny room it's not necessary to read the paper which is a complete admission of their guilt but they can't leave until it's signed. I almost forgot that one.

    "I hear dolphins are very smart" They absolutely are lol. A study team was using dolphins and training them to collect sea waste and garbage, to be brought back for treats. The dolphins quickly discovered that if they just found 1 piece of trash, and tore it up repeatedly into smaller pieces, they could get more treats for less work. Thus proving the shit that makes humans awful, is pretty much baked into our DNA 🤣

    @@ADerpyReality not "lazy greed". It's a biologically understandable thing for any animal smart enough to take advantage of it. Maximum gain for least effort does not mean laziness, it means using cunning to achieve the best outcome for the least amount of expended energy. Something that is a driving evolutionary benefit for most. Being able to for example, create a rope to assist in more easily climbing a tree and procuring food from it isn't laziness, it's ingenuity. However, the darker element of this comes from the exploitation of systems and policies to achieve the same results. This is how you get people that scam the unemployed system or welfare systems. Or corrupt politicians that abuse their positions. Understanding that this behavior is a biological reality rooted in the pleasure centers of our brains and associated with dopamine is vital when attempting to come up with systems and policies that might be easily exploited by malactors.
