@Ailbhe @renwillis There is a startling amount of people who don't even sort their trash! It all goes in the same bin. And then sometimes, the municipality puts it in the same big bin (landfill) even if you've sorted it at home, especially in the US where most of the budget goes into maintaining roads and parking lots or so I've been led to believe.
I wouldn't be surprised if the pods made in the US had something different in them as well, the regulations are terrifyingly lax sometimes.
