Genuine question: how much does plastic recycling benefit us? My understanding was that producing new plastic is quite energy efficient and only contributes to under 5% of global carbon emissions, which is pretty impressive for the amount of plastic we make.
I'm all for eliminating single use plastics where sensible to do so, and arguably the possible biological effects of plastic should make us consider reducing overall plastic usage, sustainable or otherwise.
