I spoke with an employee at my local recycling centre earlier in the year, when dropping off a car load of waste. I asked him how they recycle the plastic and his response was "Don't worry lad, we burn it all to recycle it into nice clean energy".
Ohhhh that’s how recycling is done.
Ah yes that old chestnut, we will make it look like we are protecting one thing but actually destroying another thing.
