You should demonstrate this with sound science and economics. What kind of plastics are you recycling, what is the cost per pound to recycle, and what is the price per pound for resale? What if new-plastics manufacturers are also buying recycled plastic, thereby lowering their production costs; and they don't have to buy as much petrochemicals at current market value for new production, alleviating dependence on unpredictable oil prices somewhat? So support this general claim with specific data, please.
Once you've done that, then we can get into the valuation of money of the valuation of not polluting the only planet we have.
