Only 9% of the plastic ever produced has been recycled. So what happened to all that plastic you've put in the recycling bin over the years?
It turns out that for decades the recyclability of plastics was grossly oversold by the plastics industry. Unfortunately, just placing your plastic into the recycling bin doesn't mean it will get recycled. The recycling system is complicated and often dictated by market demand. Not all plastic is recyclable. We cannot recycle plastic bags or straws for example.- awareness
