I got lung cancer just watching them in the PVC recycling place. Clouds of healthy looking green plastic dust.

[@alanmcrae8594]

Yeah, we noticed that too. No effort to protect the health of their workers. Plus, what sort of human life is it sorting garbage for a living? This is appalling, not really cool at all. If I met some intelligent beings who landed from outer space I would be ashamed to admit I was an Earthling. This is how badly we treat our fellow human beings & our precious living planet.

The plastic crisis needs to be dealt with. The manufactures need to be accountable

Manufacturers? Get your facts right. Its the scumbag politicians, NOT the manufacturers, who are at the root of this problem.

[@trainnerd3029]

Accountable for what? People are insane nowadays!

Here in the USA the recycling programs are a farce, we take care to separate the different materials at home, take them or have them picked up by the “recyclers” who are making money for doing nothing. Let’s start with the fact that the only plastics that do get recycled are water bottles and milk or detergent jugs, the rest goes to the regular landfill. Wood products are not recycled in any way by the local recyclers. The only other things that get recycled are car batteries, electronic devices, metals and stolen catalytic converters. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will not issue fines or sanctions unless they are trying to drive someone off their land, while all along ignoring the crimes committed by industrial entities. It’s all a very bad and expensive joke.

[@blueman5924]

I always have wondered if and how they recycle all the destroyed buildings from US tornados or hurricanes. There must be shards of glass and metal throughout all of it.

[@RobertAmbrose-zf2cp]

You can make cornstarch and potato plastic

Used to deliver to Manhattan every Sunday night, Mon morning starting at around 1am. Never saw so much garbage on street in my life. Mountains of piled up garbage bags

excellent.

Recycling must be better

[@dennisschoenaurer4152]

There are all kinds of videos explaining how this just costs people money and millions of tons of recyclables don’t get recycled.

[@nandsall9492]

How is waste converted into an energy resource especially to produce electricity? And how much energy is used to create these energy resources?

[@joeyjamison5772]

I'll bet recycling alcohol containers in Ireland is a lucrative business!🤣

[@Nnamdi-wi2nu]

People who do these jobs see it as the lowest type of work. But it's a new generation work. Let's give them the message

[@kanazef]

😢😢😢 human destroys everything.

[@zyxw2000]

Amazing how, in Pakistan, clear PETA bottles and red caps are turned into green and purple PVC.

[@dennisschoenaurer4152]

I want to actually see a video of this stuff becoming a new product

[@hokeywolf6764]

I would bet there is none.

[@11223344adam]

I’ve seen videos of all of the plastic getting melted down and put through an extruder and cut into pellets for plastic company’s to reuse but sadly they can only be reused 1 time before they have to dispose of them

[@jonglewongle3438]

Humanity will always give you the feel good aspect, the process of collection, but almost never what becomes of the material.

[@1019ha]

宝の山ですね。

[@gy2gy246]

Amazingly, in India, they turn clear and red plastic into green pipes.

[@dennisschoenaurer4152]

Ok were going from recycling trash to making pvc pipe which isn’t made from trash

[@Jameski07]

Fun fact: most of the world’s recycled products never even get recycled.

[@johnbroker327]

Nothing fun about that!

[@unhingedreality9515]

Truth

[@knugenjesus2484]

): Lets make the polluters pay for their shitty industry where the profit goes to private shareholders but the pollution spoils our common sources of air, water and soil.

[@cpcompany3319]

100% true. I’ve an engineering company and we do lots of work at EFW and on the MRF side too. When the tipping hall is getting too full, it gets pushed in the pit to be burned. Or occasionally it gets loaded into an ejector trailer to be taken decent distances to be dumped in a land fill.

[@Whayles]

That’s very true, it’s unfortunate because although there is a cost to recycling, there is a massive net benefit too. Pollution is reduced, materials recovered, a variety of jobs created and potential for energy generation, all being wasted when waste goes to landfill

[@donameche4993]

Deberían de hacer casas de pacas de basura en los Estados Unidos hacen casas de llantas viejas paletas de montacargas pacas de pastura etc etc etc asi no hubiera tanta basura en los basureros

[@zyxw2000]

They don't show the US, where there's very little plastic recycling, although we do recycle glass, paper and metal.

[@baltimoreluke]

has recycling plastics (which involves breaking it down to smaller pieces ad speeding up the breakdown process) contributed at all to the rise in microplastics?

[@Gertyutz]

Yes. And FYI, recycling is using old materials to make new products. Only in India or Pakistan, not sure which it is, are they actually making anything new. They turn clear and red plastic into green pipes. O_o

[@peterlukac6850]

PET bottles are the and what about other plastics???

[@margaprintemps3076]

[@RealMTBAddict]

Modern recycling is a myth.

[@knugenjesus2484]

No, it's just pretty shit

[@donameche4993]

Y para que tanta complicación en seleccionar el plástico con esas pacas de ése tamaño o quizá mas flacas se puede hacer una bodega o una casa igual como en los Estados Unidos y después se emplasta con cemento y queda igual de maciza que si fuera puro cemento y además bien aislada y toda la basura no causaria tanto estrago en los basureros así es camaradas

What a load of rubbish (the video not the topic) you’ve taken different clips and cut them to look like that’s what actually happens, one minute your showing a clip in in the UK and then suddenly we’re in India! How about showing a plant that does the lot not just cutting other peoples clips?

[@miadahhajbi6442]

It's cool as long as they don't recycle people the same way oh ya watch out
