Plastic recycling by and large is a farce. The majority of all "recycled" plastics in western countries winds up being exported to developing nations who then extract a tiny percent that can be melted down and reused. The rest winds up in rivers, or the ocean, or being burnt. It's horrific that countries like his is being used as a global rubbish dump.

If western countries actually want to make a difference, we need to take a hard line and ban all single use plastic.
