Reply to comment by linuxlib in Bloomberg: Amazon Packages Burn in India, Final Stop in Broken Recycling System. Plastic wrappers and parcels that start off in Americans’ recycling bins end up at illegal dumpsites and industrial furnaces — and inside the lungs of people by ombx

You should actually read the articles you use as citations.

It lays out problems with plastic recycling, but nowhere does it say that it is impossible.

From the article I cited:

>Plastic recycling does not work and will never work.

I understand the point you are making. But all I needed to do was say, "For all practical purposes, that is 100% correct."

Or perhaps I should have said, "That is 99.99999999% correct."

I think you are quibbling over a difference which is indistinguishable from zero.

This is complete bullshit. A quick google search will find many companies that… gasp… recycle plastic.
