So why does #BigPlastic expect people to #recycle plastic?

There is no cost to just discarding #SingleUsePlastic, and there is a cost in time and effort of the consumer to get the plastic to a recycling center; there is a cost to sort waste to extract plastic from a waste stream to recycle it; there is a still intractable cost problem of clean plastic for recycling.

So maybe the first step is to reward consumers for returning single use plastics for recycling. Of course, how does one generate that reward? And how large does it have to be, and how easy does it have to be to claim it? And what is the impact on low income households? And how is that system designed and implemented?

Big Plastic is profitable BECAUSE they have a one way process - make, sell, and forget. No responsibility after the sale for the end of life impacts.

#PlasticPollution is a problem because #IndustryDeception is so common

The Guardian · Five firms in plastic pollution alliance ‘made 1,000 times more plastic than they cleaned up’By Sandra Laville

The problem of plastic pollution is too big for any one nation to handle. That’s why we need a global approach. It’s worked before with the ozone layer and acid rain and it can work again with plastic.

We need a global treaty to solve plastic pollution – acid rain and ozone depletion show us why

: I'm never convinced by publications stating that plastic things have a smaller carbon footprint than other things. "of course they have!"

to make plastic, one needs to capture some carbon within that product. you can make plastic from basically any organic material. and, most of the production ways are highly polished and optimized to be easy and cheap to execute.

but, isn't almost all plastic ever produced still somewhere within our environment? why we so embraced single-use-disposable philosophy of life? what about all that garbage, which is very resilient and alien to our environment?
