Americans' plastic recycling is dumped in landfills
The correct place to take plastic out of landfills is by forbidding its use in manufacture, for anything except unavoidable necessities such as medical uses.You can use glass bottles and wash and reuse them.You can package things in wax paper.You can wear clothes made of natural fiber.Plastic needs to be treated like asbestos: useful, but the uses do not justify the risk in most cases.
