13. Is recycling flexible plastic worth the effort?
Supermarkets are now collecting flexible plastic packaging, asking us to bag it up and return it. But with reports suggesting much of it ends up being burned, is our recycling effort going to waste? In this episode, we dive into why it's still worth recycling flexible plastic. Plus, we explore how plastic is mechanically recycled, whether cables can be recycled, and we have a question about glass recycling, does it get melted twice?
