Reply to comment by linuxlib in Bloomberg: Amazon Packages Burn in India, Final Stop in Broken Recycling System. Plastic wrappers and parcels that start off in Americans’ recycling bins end up at illegal dumpsites and industrial furnaces — and inside the lungs of people by ombx

I have many things in my house made from recycled plastic. I didn’t say that it’s effective or efficient. I said it can be recycled. Again fuck plastic but, it CAN be recycled.

From the article I cited:

>Plastic recycling does not work and will never work.

I understand the point you are making. But all I needed to do was say, "For all practical purposes, the evidence says otherwise."

Or perhaps I should have said, "The evidence says otherwise, but with statistically insignificant exceptions."

I think you are quibbling over a difference which is indistinguishable from zero.
