Confused about recycling? It’s not your fault - Shannon Odell
Dig into the biggest problems facing our current plastic recycling process, and explore potential solutions to these systems.
--
If you’ve ever looked at the bottom of a disposable bottle or cup, you’ve probably noticed a recycling symbol. Seeing this, many people assume the item should be put in a recycling bin. Yet many plastics are incapable of being recycled at most centers. In fact, only 9% is recycled each year. So why are so few plastics recycled? And what do these symbols actually mean? Shannon Odell investigates.
