They just get money on 2 ends. Once for pickup, and once again selling the shit.

and for years the solution for plastic waste was just to sell it to china, to bad they just dump in in the sea and now it washing up on the beaches to the people that did sell it to china in the first place

Sometimes. They do make clothing from some of it and sell that to us.

fleece clothes is made from recycled pet bottles

But yea even china is like. "Your plastic isnt good enough" to oregon.

So they racheted down recycling here to the point you might as well not.

Most states that sell it to china and others are states that bannef the plants in their states for environmentalism

Irony there

and they act shocked when the beaches is still full of plastic

Yup, here in Kentucky you're allowed to burn it so long as your fire department thinks it's not during an excessively dry season

we can now only burn none treated wood and paper. anything else have to be recycled. and by recycled is that they put it in big containers that they sell to Sweden and then Sweden just burn it for heat

most recyceling is just a scam to make people feel better about themselves is my opinion

@Legiondude are you a hilltopper?

Not sure, never heard that term before

@Legiondude it's the mascot of WKU

Its a scam here for sure making 15 a can pickup. And you can only recycle clean paper milk jugs and cardboard.
And then they sell it to china.

Ah, "Western" Kentucky University, no @galesteppes

You can always find a different use for it. But to recycle it the plastic needs certain properties, one being the glass point temperature, which makes the material acquire glass like properties to be reshaped. Some plastics just don't have that feature.

And it's not that it's harder. It's that is not possible.

Different use is litterally recycling. And rubber can be melted down and reformed into new like bottles ect.

Afaik recycling and reusing are 2 different things, at least in Spanish

Then again, no you can't melt rubber. It burns and loses it's properties

NO PLANES. PLANES BAD!

The plane climbed to 1,500ft, but then pitched and "descended rapidly" because autopilot was set with a target altitude of 0ft.
