Its because plastics can’t really be fucken recycled. That was another lie to keep the machine going for a few more decades.
Well to be fair they can be, plastic is very recyclable, it’s just more expensive than producing virgin plastic, so it’s not done :-(
Plastic requires heavy sorting to be able to recycle then once that is done a large percentage is not usable, a small percentage can be used again but needs high energy to do so, low quality plastic is illegally imported to a Pacific island country and the waste is burned in fields. Plastic industries have been lobbying to keep this information as quiet as possible and blame the consumer for not “recycling enough” for decades https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-dk3NOEgX7o

It really is not that reusable. Another day in the minefield, another lie is sold.

If you read into recycling plastics you’ll see that you actually can’t recycle that many because it becomes briddle and unusable. Yes, even those marked as recyclable aren’t up to the quality once recycled.
