23 days ago@cm0002 Germany a country doing among the best in recycling separates trash mandatory for all between paper recycling bio and rest waste. Among the recycling materials only 40% gets recycled the rest burned for energy. Recycling is energy intensive so half of the energy will be from fossil fuels while the remaining 60% of the plastic not recycled also has to be then reproduced from fossil fuels that eventually end 60% in our atmosphere for being burned. (1/2)
@cm0002 (2/2) of the “recycled” plastics some are sent on ships (powered by fossil fuels) to countries without a recycling system to end up there in the ocean.
