plastic recycling is greenwashing

[king1]

might not be that economical when you downgrade it, economies of scale and the like.

What I don't like, is it might foster a non-renewable culture, which will just make the whole rape and pillage of the Earths natural resources happen even quicker... Destroying something is permanent, I think better to invest the time and money in finding ways to make the resources reusable/renewable. At some stage the cookie jar will be empty...
