    Let’s also go after the folks in the plastics industry who intentionally misled the entire country into thinking their products were recyclable. Even now they use that symbol that was designed to look like the recycle symbol but it just tells you which type of plastic it is.

      Nonono! You’ve gotten this all wrong! Technically speaking, it is recyclable. If you take each individual piece and treat it individually so you can separate all the different layers we glued onto each other from one another, that is. I mean, we could have just used one type of polymer, but then our package would have been 3.45% less shiny than that of the competition, We had a call about this. We all agreed that that’s unacceptable, right? So all is tres bueno! Right?.. Right?

        only types 1 and 2 are really recyclable and even those can only be recycled once or twice before the polymers are basically ruined and can’t be used again
