18 August 2022 - recycling triangle

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

When I search for the recycling triangle symbol on a bit of plastic packaging, to figure out whether it can be recycled where I live, I often have to use a magnifying glass. Of course, your situation might be different. You might have to use a microscope. Apparently manufacturers are ashamed that their products are recyclable. And given the state of the recycling industry, isn't that the correct attitude?

clue:

Do they think that if their packages are recycled they'll lose out on making more?

give me a clue so sweet and true
