npub156ek2ssy4yhqktugh7w4f3fpv5yxwfk3s6falszswtfgmk27mjks4aepw9 (npub156e…epw9) No. It's that some small amount can be recycled, to some degree, under the right circumstances, if you have a suitable use for it. But most of it can't be recycled, recycled plastic is less useful than new plastic made to order, and making new plastic is cheaper and easier than recycling the old. That, and it's got the backing of the petroleum industry, who are getting more worried about divestment from fossil fuels.
