Beer and soda were also sold in glass bottles with a 5-cent deposit which would be refunded (more likely deducted from a purchase) when the bottles were returned.

I worked as a custodian in a large hospital from 1969 to 1981. During that time, I saw how the hospital went from glass, metal and cloth, to paper, plastic and other "disposables". There were autoclaves on every ward where reusable items were sterilized. Those autoclaves got used less and less. We had our own laundry on site that washed patient gowns, surgical gowns, masks and other items that later were made disposable. What amazed me and no one else seemed to notice was the huge increase in the amount of trash the hospital produced during those years.

It used to be that it was so big and heavy it needed to be made locally. The same is largely true of kitchen cabinets, a lot come from Asia now. Even if you consider a 20 year lifespan, it took too much less energy and required less deforestation to make that cardboard furniture that even if the real stuff lasts 100 years it's still more environmentally friendly to use the ikea junk. Now the argument for real furniture is different the SE Asian made furniture is more environmentally unfriendly and certainly would not last 100 years.

I never really thought about it much before but when I did some self brainstorming I thought it was a unique topic. It was a semester-long project and I basically carried all the weight but the more I researched the more I was amazed. My conclusion almost mirrors this video. We got an A+.

I've known for a lot of years that recycling was a scam, it's just whenever I told anyone, they figured I was just a grumpy old man. I remember when grocery stores switched to plastic bags, it was to save the trees from being used to make paper bags. Now they're blowing in the wind. When I was a kid in the late 50s, early 60s, we would go around and collect soda and beer bottles to take to the convenience stores and collect the deposit on them. Usually enough to get a candy bar or another soda. Can't do that with a plastic bottle.

I can remember when glass was the primary material for liquid and semi-solid household goods. And, while we remember soda bottles and milk bottles being cleaned a recycled, most of the jars and glass containers for items e.g. pickles, peanut butter, shampoos, medicines, etc. were tossed and ended up in the landfill. So, it's not just a plastics problem. The amount of plastics ending up in the landfills has been pretty stable since around 2015. The amount of recycled plastic is about the same as well. The amount of plastics that are combusted with energy recovery has been steadily increasing. One benefit of plastics which is rarely cited is their relative safety compared to glass. The number of cuts and injuries sustained by broken glass was pretty high. Today, you can drop your shampoo in the shower and not worry about stepping on broken glass. And, even though glass is recyclable, only about 1/3 of glass consumed ends up being recycled. We have a long way to go.

In the early 1970's working with the League of Women Voters I opened one of the first recycling centers in Connecticut. It just so happens in the town that I lived in was a well-known person who controlled the waste industry. One day this person rolled up in a chauffeur driven custom Lincoln Continental, rolled down the window and ask me what I was doing. I told him we were recycling glass, news paper and aluminum. He laughed and said: "Kid if there were any money in this I would be doing it". After an hour of a interesting conversation with this gentlemen he asked me what I did with all these glass bottles. I told him I sold them to a glass jar manufacturing company and they melt it down and turn it into new jars. He laughed and said - no they don't. They have a fund to buy it from you for public relations purposes and at night when nobody is looking they haul the glass bottles to the dump and have them buried when nobody is looking. Incredulous I asked how do you know that? He smiled and said- I own the dump. I have been a big skeptic since- KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

I worked in the plastics industry for just over 37 years. We mostly made home exterior products where I worked. As for re-use and recycling; it's complicated. Recycled plastics are cheaper, but each time plastics are re-used it becomes weaker as the longer polymer molecules are "sheared" or broken in the process. Meaning the polymer becomes weaker and more brittle. There are some products, like gutter splash blocks, where this isn't really an issue, but most products have industry standards they have to meet so that limits the use of recycled plastics. Often plastics can be re-processed; meaning additives can be mixed back into the polymer at a greater expense to help recover some of the origional characteristics, but it's never quite as good as the virgin material. The law, via the FDA, in most areas is that any plastics touching a food product must be a virgin plastic, even though processing achieves temperatures high enough to kill any germs, virus or bacteria. Most recycling "do something" programs are all about feeling good and are in effect a form of taxation for the consumer at the point of purchase. We are paying for recycling that in many areas, like most government programs, simply doesn't happen, or the program doesn't function as well as it was sold to the public.

When I was younger, I remember my dad and grandfather going to the grocery store to drop off empty glass pop bottles (soda for those who are not from my region). Back then the factories would actually buy these back, to be sanitized and reused. It wasn't much money back, but the older generations were always in the mindset to take value in everything. They grew up in the 1920's-40's. If the TV broke, at least you can find a repairman to come out and fix it. Things just lasted more, and the older generations cared to make everything last as long as humanly possible. I learned what mason jars were very quickly. They had certain wisdom that is now lost to most people. It seems, just like with plastics, society has been conditioned to make everything disposable. Tech companies have been known to deliberately sabotage older tablets and phones (or just stop supporting them) to force consumers to go out an purchase new phones (more plastic waste). We are conditioned to throw away rather than preserve, and the results speak loud and clear for anyone who is willing to listen. Until we can be reconditioned and those corporations responsible can be truly held accountable (instead of their marketing campaigns gaslighting us to thinking that they really care), nothing will change.

I had to empty them and asked management what to do... they told me to throw it all in the dumpster. they only had the bins set up to attract customers that cared about things like that but had no actual recycling going on. From then on I knew it was all a sham.

You have to ask yourself: can you justify the energy needed for the 30 ton trash truck that picks up the small basket of recycling you've dutifully sorted, trucks it to the recycling center where the 100 ton machines provide a sorting line to countless workers, in the climate managed building actually reduce energy overhead? Of course the answer is no, otherwise like true recycling (scrapping) people would pay you for it, not the other way around. Recycling is and has always been a scam. Stop hurting the environment, either avoid products that can't be reused or stuff it into the trash can.

IN New York State plastic soda bottles and beer bottles have 5 cents added to the price when you buy them. You get 5 cents for every bottle you recycle. There is a machine in every supermarket you put the bottles in and it spits out 5 cents in coins for every bottle you insert. Then it chops them into small pieces that get compressed. Trucks bring this stuff to a factory on Long Island where they melt the plastic and this is turned into plastic lumber. That is used to make signposts, boardwalks, and other things left outdoors. You don't have to paint it and it never rots.

August 2017 I was working in Falmouth docks in Cornwall, UK. On one of the quaysides there were hundreds of what looked like plastic wrapped hay bales, about 5 or 6 feet in diameter. Closer inspection revealed they were full of plastic and cans - recycling. I asked about and found that this was some the recycling that was collected in the "bumper box" recycling scheme. I was told that all the recycling would get loaded aboard a ship, the ship would then sail to Plymouth where it would all be off loaded onto trucks and taken to landfill. Meanwhile the residents of Cornwall were being fined by the "bin police" for not putting recyclable items in the "recycling" I told people what I had found out and most refused to believe me, they want to believe they are good people for following rules and doing the recycling. Most people like to believe they are intelligent, intelligent enough not to be scammed. And so the problem continues.

First of all, I wanted to clear some things, because many uneducated people are sharing misinformation about certain things. Since I'm a graphic designer who learned about the materials, I have to stand in protection of plastic, because many people push the antiplastic propaganda without searching simple stuff. Many plastic cannot be recycled, because if you want milk that won't be spoiled and be full of dirty stuff, plastic sheets need to be stuck with aluminium sheet under high pressure to hold everything in one place. Plastic protects your food of getting spoiled unlike wood, paper... Many chemical elements and chemical mixtures react to glass, paper and wood. Plastic has been the only material who showed properties which are not reactive with dangerous chemicals. Two days ago, I watched a documentary on clothing industry polluting the world with fast fashion. They use NaOH or other chemicals with natrium which are highly acidic (I'm not English so my vocabulary is limited) and even they can "eat" glass! Only plastic containers can keep them safe. I'm all for glass for bottles and cosmetic containers, because we drink fluids which can contain microplastics and plastic reacts to high temperature. Under the impact of heat, they let some toxic chemical compounds into the fluid which we cannot see with the naked eye. Also, I like more Coke in glass bottles, but the problem is, large companies are not ready to sell glass bottles, because they are expensive and of course we customers would pay for the end product. Paper was used before in small shops before super markets existed, because people would sell fresh food every day. For example in Yugoslavia, where my parents grew up, people would go to smaller businesses and buy meat, vegetable and they would be wrapped in paper, but for meat, it was a protecting coat of plastic so fat doesn't wet the paper. Later, super markets appeared, but still people had paper bags for FREE! bags that are free will motivate people to not use plastic, but later plastic bags appeared which were cheaper and more durable (imagine rain damaging your paper bags). Every material is useful, but the problem is the people who are irresponsible and throw them into our nature. It's fascinating that some countries rather spend billions of dollars on war industry instead on research for finding a solution to a long-term problem like recycling plastic

He did this for years until one day he had to bring a truck load of stuff to the landfill. While he was there he saw a huge pile of these full blue trash bags that had clearly never been opened. Also, our government pays poor countries to take shiploads of plastics. Most of which cannot be melted down and made into new things. These countries have become open air landfils and its sickening. Large countries like China and India and even large cities like New York barge trash to the ocean and dump it. They are largely responsible for the trash island that has accumulated in the ocean.

Most of it ends up in a landfill. I learned this from those in charge of recycling. It is true that some things get recycled, but the industry and the government at the federal level lies through their teeth about its effectiveness. For much of what we think is being recycled, the process is cost prohibitive. That said, I still recycle faithfully and will continue to do so. Do I think it will help? Probably not, but it is just part of being perceived as a good citizen. And if a little of the stuff I place into those big bins gets recycled, the world is a better place.
