Plastics Industry's Decades-Long Deception on Recycling Exposed

A new report reveals that plastic producers have known for over 30 years that recycling is not a viable solution for plastic waste management, yet they have continued to promote it. The report, published by the Center for Climate Integrity, exposes internal documents and industry statements showing that the promotion of recycling was deceptive. The report suggests that the industry may have violated laws and misled the public about the effectiveness of recycling. As the plastic industry faces growing public scrutiny and legal action, advocates are calling for accountability and a shift in business practices to address the environmental impact of plastic production and disposal.
