Dead end street

 Plastic recycling is a “dead-end street.

In my new video, we debunk the recycling religion. Read the comments.

Plastic recycling is stupid and worrying about plastic pollution in the West is stupid Almost no ocean plastic pollution comes from the West Nothing we do impacts plastic use and disposal in the poor Asian and African countries that do cause the problem We have no lack of landfill space. How could we? Every plastic atom comes out of the ground. Putting it in a landfill is just putting it back.

There was a thing where we would sell recycling abroad where they would, with lower labor costs, sift it and recycle what was useful. But that's largely stopped because those countries like China and Malaysia realized the companies were dumping a lot of waste or burning it.
