☝️🤓 Just about all thermoplastics are recyclable.

…they just aren't being recycled, because it's expensive, energy intensive and overall not a great solution to a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place.

Do you think the whole "not really recyclable" trope could actually be a campaign by big oil to resign people to the assertion that we just need to keep producing more new plastics?

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 weeks ago

certainly feels that way, here in sweden we haven't been poisoned by this idea and thus simply went ahead and built a facility to handle recycling of most plastics, as is sensible.
