Recycling labels are some of the biggest falsehoods. Many plastics are simply not recycled at all, I think at best only #1 and #2 plastics are largely ever recycled. Even things like orange juice containers are considered not recyclable due to their heavy plastic coatings inside the paper shell and they will get sorted out to be dumped.

It's one way industry has scammed the public by convincing them much of the waste generated by low-cost (to the manufacturer) packaging was recyclable.

It’s terrible. Plus the west pays the Chinese companies to take care off the plastics anyway. They just dump it in the ocean and nothing is recycled.

Is actually better for the planet that you just burn it yourself instead of wasting diesel on transport to nowhere.
