Not very efficient. Mostly because people recycle
Stuff that can’t be recycled and clogs the whole system up and slows it down. If people actually followed instructions on what could go in their bin it would be a lot more effective and efficient

True to an extent, although with China refusing to take recycling

The problem was that China would accept almost anything. Totally contaminated

I'm sure innovation and changes in approach will bring the costs down over time

It is cheaper to just dump it in the landfill. Always has been.

One of those things to make people feel good but don’t have the desired results

100% correct. By and large, scam so politicians can claim to

I guess you have to ask yourself if mummifying your garbage

As you know I represent some waste disposal companies. I can 100% verify that

There needs to be some way to gamify recycling.
