"Yeah, people keep talking about recycling and whatnot"
And that's how capitalism shits in peoples' heads. It tells the common people to do recycling, but then the capitalists use their connections, underlings, and their media companies to push for exceptions to be granted for their companies. And since policymakers need their support to stay in power, they'll add exceptions to laws that allow capitalist companies to "greenwash" their way out of it.
If we keep talking about recycling, we should simply include everyone and everything in recycling. That's what you call a closed-loop economy. You only use what you can reuse after its use. 🤷♂️
