I’m aware that I, the consumer, won’t change the world and that we need structural change.

Still, I’ve been wondering. I’ve come to learn that plastic recycling is largely a myth/scam, but what about glass and metal recycling? Also, what happens to the plastic coating on metal during recycling?

TIA

    Plastic recycling is still superior to discarding, but inferior to avoiding in the first place. It is simply energy intensive and not many people do it.
