Coca cola has been selling products in 100% recycled PET in Germany for about a year. The major blocker at the moment is the lack of recycled PET to use. So all the people undermining the work by telling folk not to bother recycling their bottles isn't really helpful, unless you are trying to support the fossil fuel industry. https://www.packaging-360.com/en/current-topics/coca-cola-in... |

There is no 'work', plastic is cheap for the packager, expensive for our environment. The industry has setup a marketing compaign to divert attention away from all the externalized environmental costs of plastic.[0]
You are right that I want to undermine this effort because what I want is a full ban on single use-plastic outside medical/laboratory applications.
I highly recommend this PBS docu on the PR aspects around Plastic:
