alt Hacker NewsI can't speak for your locale, but in the US, most "plastic recycling" is a myth, as very little of it is truly reusable. Trash companies basically resell what they collect, and if they can't, it ends up in the same landfills as the trash bin contents.
The landfill is one of the best outcomes in most recycling scams. The worst is it ends up in the Pacific trash gyre after wasting fossil fuels sending it to a country halfway around the world to be dumped in a river.
