  • To me that is an attempt by corporations to make you forget about recycling and not care what is produced…like ah eff it whats the point. Each country and state, and city is different. I’m in Vancouver they claim 96% recycle rate of what is collected. My family member works at a recycle facility where they sort and regrind material into pellets for resale. The industries often can’t get enough pellets that they desire, especially because price of plastic is tied to oil prices. So when oil goes up manufactures desire more recycced pellets because it is cheaper. Eapecially in auto industry where recycle mixed in has mandate to come from autograde material. What isn’t usable becomes fuel pellets. We don’t do films here, but I believe Germany had set up plastic film recycling. But a US company has developed a method of taking plastic films and old starbucks coffee grounds to make stacking pallets, instead of wood pallets.
