Yes, you can recycle plastic. Yes, its complex due to different types and grades of it. The only responsibility of the consumer is to put it into the right bin.
Yes, the corporations creating plastic products should do more. It doesn’t have to be financially feasible to recycle it, It needs to be ecologically feasible and companies producing plastic products should pay the recycling toll.
We can also just burn it for energy like we do with tires… I recycle it like a good little cog in the machine because even if 5% of it gets back into product and not into my penis, is a win.
We need to make it financially feasible to properly recycle plastics by making it so damn expensive for companies to be wasteful with plastics. Among many other things, of course.
I need to clean it to a concerning degree as well or risk being fined.
Also, where do those burned plastic fumes go after being burned also matter and I’m not confident they’re not just being sent straight back to my lungs.
I don’t have a problem with cleaning tbh. It’s not required here but I just feel icky if I put a yogurt stained container into the bin.
With burning, it must be done at very high temperatures to ensure the resulting gasses get burned as well. Here I generally ment collect plastic and send it to a facility which has furnaces which can accommodate this kind of waste (like rubber tires).

I doubt it will happen in our lifetimes, though.
95% of microplastics going to your penis is considered a win?
