Guess you just ignored the items I wrote.

I don't think I did; what you wrote just doesn't really address the problem. Yes, in a few industrial countries, raw materials that can be easily separated will be recycled. But that just isn't the real problem, when all the electronics and glued components and biological waste and mixed trash are impossible to recycle. People are told to just buy more stuff all the time, to a point where maintenance or repairs are economically unsustainable for many things. And I also don't understand how pointing out this travesty is somehow a climate change denier position.
I dont disagree, but your original statement was extremely broad.
