Fire in Brijest - a predictable result of recycling stupidity?
#5
RE: Fire in Brijest - a predictable result of recycling stupidity?
It'd be alot easier to keep the piles under x meters tall if there were a market for the product, but there isn't. We still prefer new plastic even when we could use recycled plastic. I know that's not what we say, but that's what we do. Trouble is, that greenwashing lobbies have sold recycling so hard.. This isn't even something that happened to the recycling industry, it was the literal point of it's creation. To cast corporate waste as the consumers problem and greenwash their charging us to take out their trash.

There aren't any government programs that make plastic recycling profitable in the way that you're discussing. Recycling as we do it is profitable -as a service-. As the product itself. As your story notes, it's pretty easy for them to get the shit, it's hard to get rid of it. Piles up.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
