Who said anything about recycling single use plastics? I am talking about recycling plastic in general, which is a massive problem.
We send our waste to 3rd world countries and pat ourselves on the back for banning plastic straws.
Following successful European models for plastic waste reduction requires us to actually have a recycling program as well, not just a ban on single use products. Must be hard to understand.
