Plastic Industry Deception Exposed: The Truth About Recycling

TL;DR Summary
A new report reveals that the plastic industry has deceived the public about the viability of recycling for over 50 years, despite knowing it's not a sustainable solution. The report by the Center for Climate Integrity Research (CCI) suggests that plastic producers should be held accountable for their deception and pay for the damage caused. The industry's fraudulent marketing campaigns allowed single-use plastics to expand while avoiding effective waste regulation. Legal action is being considered, and it's emphasized that the best way to reduce plastic pollution is to avoid single-use plastics altogether.
