3 thoughts on “Industry: Advanced recycling is a solution to plastic crisis

  1. Next step would be to control some of the instant garbage generated, like banning single use plastic bags, and charging for plastic flatware on carry out and fast food.

  2. Incentivize recycling. At the point of purchase of every product that is made from plastic, aluminum, and glass consumers should be charged a nominal deposit at checkout would would be refunded to the customer if and when they return the empty containers. Ten states currently charge consumers such deposits for cans and bottles, which also makes it easier for recyclers to pick up these materials to the retail locations rather than retrieving them from each household.
