Old earthenware is needed as "grog" to create new earthenware so it is still much more recyclable than plastics.

I think in Japan they traditionally still use earthenware and ceramicware in cooking, though maybe not as single-use items.

We need more sustainable and recyclable industries. We generate too much fossil-fuel and petrochemical waste that we are drowning in plastics and pollution.

Yeah, definitely. Just that those recycling approaches need to be planned ahead of time.
