For decades, the plastic industry has misled the public by promoting the myth that plastics are recyclable when in reality, most plastics cannot be effectively recycled. This false narrative has been used to deflect responsibility for environmental harm away from corporations and onto consumers. Despite significant investments in recycling programs and new "recycling" technologies, the fundamental issue remains unchanged: plastics are not truly recyclable. Even those plastics that can be recycled release substantial amounts of microplastics into the environment during the process. Additionally, new products made from recycled plastics often contain toxic chemicals. The harsh truth is that plastic recycling is a diversion from the necessary solution: we must drastically reduce plastic production and consumption to protect our planet. #falsesolutionsexposed #breakfreefromplastic #EcoFriendly #ZeroWaste #PlasticFree #SustainableLiving 🌍

Recycling plastic is not a solution.The recycling of plastics doesn't diminish the threat of microplastics to humans; it actually exasperates it. Recycled plastic (and all plastics), will eventually break down to become toxic microplastic pollution. Biodegradable is the finally solution. #recycled #biodegradablepackaging #foodpackaging #custompackaging #flexiblepackaging #plasticpackaging #packagingbag #laminationpackagingbag

💡 To boost chemical recycling rates in the EU, increased investment in facilities is essential. ➡ For these investments to thrive, clarity regarding the use of a mass balance Fuel Use Exempt method to calculate recycled content in plastics is needed. 🔄 To close the gap to full plastic packaging #circularity, mechanical and chemical recycling are needed as complementary technologies to deliver recycled content supported by improvements in design, collection and sorting of packaging waste. #CircularEconomy #ChemicalRecycling #Recycling #Sustainability #FuelUseExempt #Packaging #Plastic
