Inthe past we move from paper bags, waxed paper for packaging to plastic because we think it's good for environment to not cutting down tree, and been feed with information that plastic is recyclable.

[@ianjohnson1249]

Recycling should be like the 3rd or 4th conversation to have. We must reduce reduce reduce first... Not generating plastic trash should be our absolute priority #1. Filling our grocery stores with aisles and aisles of plastic packaging, then trying to recycle them after the fact is a folly.

he was talking about nuclear waste dude, not his plastic, he's trying to get the formula just right so that he can sell it, currently biodegradable plastic is horrible because if I have any moisture in them they are useless, and coupled with time they end up just turning useless, we need something better that is just as good as cotton but not needing more than our lifetime of water to grow enough cotton to make one bag.

@Penny Bee That's called good stewardship of the planet. Removing a "problem" doesn't necessarily fix a system as a whole. Until recently, we were only trying to survive. Our problems today are much more subtle than they were even 100 years ago. Everything can seem to be a threat today. There will always be someone who cares. Be it recycling, caring for someone who is mentally unwell, or an injustice in the world. People do care. @Chirag thank you for your optimism.

Use paper, glass, and metal. THE END.

[@serenastarling8765]

I wish it were that simple, but no. We are not just talking about citizens here, but also businesses. One time use plastics have the advantage of being very cheap and efficient, which businesses benefit greatly from and brings in more profit. Paper, glass, and metal are more pricy recourses which some businesses will sacrifice for either lack of enough funds or overall strong wants of high profits. As we all grow up we start to realize there is no black and white anymore, it's grey due to complications and such.

[@jin_cotl]

That’s exactly why the manufacturers turned to synthetic Polymer (plastic) during WWII because there weren’t enough resources to craft, and because it was a lot cheaper to use plastic.

Part of the problem here is relying so heavily on petroleum to get the plastic. Another problem is focusing on recycling because in the event that it's tossed out a car window or simply not recycled we have to wait generations for it to break down.

[@nicklombard610]

All plastic manufactures should be forced by law to recover through a gradual increased % of thier production.

So for example this year they would be responsible for recovering ten tons of ocean plastic and next year 12tons of ocean plastic? If so that's a smart idea, kinda similar to carbon capture.
