This is why "green" advocacy is retarded. This is what "green" advocacy brings you, along with shitty straws that are no longer recyclable and now get to rot in your landfill.

Recycling itself is somewhat a scam anyway. There are very few materials that actually bring a return on investment for recycling, and most of it actually happens in China anyway. You're not actually recycling your own trash, you throw it away into China, thinking they'll take care of it responsibly.

Something similar happened over here too. Recyclables were packaged and were supposed to be sent to China for the actual recycling part. China rejected them, because the trash wasn't pure enough (wasn't sorted well enough) and sent it back, only to remain stuck in warehouses. They didn't even get sent to be burned or to a landfill.
