RE: Recycling: The Evil Illusion

in #environment7 years ago

Thank you Mazzle. Alas I suspect it a dynamic common all around the world. I heared about a big recycling scandal recently in your country recently when it was discovered that vast amounts of glass bottles that are perfectly recyclable were ending up in the landfill. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-07/recycling-companies-forced-to-stockpile-glass-industry-crisis/8778088 I heartedly encourage you to research the recycling industry in your country. Take a job in one of the facilities and ask lots of questions! I managed to persuade my foreman to shift me to all the stations in the factory so I could better understand the systems for each material. Its hard work, but fascinating.

Yep, that article is actually the one that gave me the idea to start digging in the first place actually. I'll be sure to look further.
