Plastics: What's Recyclable, What Becomes Trash and Why
This is LUDICROUS.  Recycling is harder than doing your taxes.  We desperately need uniformity on this.<p>"<i>BEVERAGE BOTTLES
Recyclable. Be sure to remove the plastic film label, which isn’t recyclable.</i>"  FFS.  Have you ever tried to remove one of those labels?  It's impossible.<p>"<i>A bottle with a cap or an opening the same size or smaller than the base of the bottle is probably going to be recyclable.</i>"  -- WTF does the size of the opening have to do with it?<p>"<i>The How2Recycle label is showing up on more products at the grocery store ... GreenBlue says that there are more than 2,500 variations of the label in circulation</i>"  2500 different recycling rules?!<p>This is not a consumer-level problem.  It's completely ridiculous to expect millions of ordinary people to succeed at this kind of task on a daily or weekly basis.  It needs to be solved further up the supply chain, or processors need to be centralized and standardized. Period.
