Plastic recycling is a scam.
AI needs to be put to good use !
Companies should come together and make uniform bottle design
I am super psyched on this tech and have been following it's growth for a few years – but we still need to phase-out certain materials, including most plastics. For one, robots only help with the recycleables that make it to the facility (e.g. 10% of plastics). For another, many materials cannot be recycled at all, and many materials are not "recycled", but "downcycled", which means they can be used 2-3 times and then they go to the landfill.
We need to create a truly circular and sustainable economy and packaging materials are probably the most important place to start.
We need to focus on reducing waste. And reusing things.
heres a idea… lets make self serve garbage drop off locations and charge people $1 per pound of garbage.
GOODBYE RECYCLING JOBS.

Hello!!!! Remember Wall-e?……
Why not solve world hunger instead?
We should make composit materials by using 3D printers to break down plastics and use them for building materials.
Recycling is not the answer reusable and biodegradable is! The media has to start showing the public where all garbage goes. Garbage includes plastics and cardboard. Since they really haven't until now, I figure it ends up in poor countries. Which really doesn't do anyone any good. As in some sci fi novel all life will end up living underground.
They are taking the employees jobs. Where would they go?
Put The 🤖 & 🖥 to work !!
We gotta admit, as much as the government persuade us to recycle, sometimes they do a horrible job at managing the recycled materials. Many times I saw the trash truck pick up all my recyclables. What a shame. We did our part, they can’t do their part.
