A recent examination by the Centre for Climate Integrity has brought to light startling revelations about the plastics industry’s longstanding misinformation regarding plastic recycling. According to the report titled “The Fraud of Plastic Recycling”, internal documents dating back to the 1970s have revealed that industry insiders were well aware that recycling plastic was not a viable solution to waste management. These documents express significant doubt about the economic feasibility of plastic recycling, contradicting the industry’s aggressive promotion of recycling as a cure-all for plastic pollution.
