As we've discussed, all these other things that are in it only get compounded as well.
So I think, you know, it's some of the most cited studies about plastic recycling are, you know, less than 10 percent.
There are some researchers who think in this country it's less than 5 percent of all plastics are quote unquote recycled.
There are definitely stories of that happening.
And as I said, I think it really depends on what city or where you are.
But yes, I think it is not a system that really has a lot of trust right now.
Yes, that triangle is a resin code.
So those numbers are about the type of plastic.
It doesn't mean it's recyclable or will be recycled.
It means that that is PET or a different kind of plastic.
But why is that the whole symbol for recycling?
Lobbying by the, you know, by industry to have that be the symbol.
There's litigation happening across the country about if something can't be recycled or isn't actually recycled or a certain percentage of it doesn't get recycled, you can't
give people a false sense.
I mean, it's greenwashing, right?
It's entirely greenwashing to give people a sense that if it has a triangle with a number in the middle of it means that it can be recycled.
It was never designed to be recycled.
It was never designed to be reused.
There's an incredible study, not study, you know, report and quotes from people in the beginning of the days of promoting plastic that like they're going to make money by people throwing this away.
You know, like the future is in the trash can.
