  2. TIL: CD jewel cases are made of polystyrene plastic. that's resin code #6 in the recycling symbol. unfortunately, this means they are generally not recycled.

    Polystyrene is usually seen as either a hard, brittle plastic (e.g. CD jewel cases and many plastic cups and dishes and cutlery), or foam, commonly called "styrofoam" (which is actually a trademark name, but one that's basically genericized at this point).

  3. anyone know about the recyclability of shrink wrap?

    am opening a product packaged with shrink wrap right now.

    from a quick check online I see people saying that polyolefin and PVC are common materials (with the latter being more problematic). though this doesn't really tell me where to drop it off if i want to recycle it...

    "California's attorney general is suing #ExxonMobil, alleging the oil giant engaged in a 'decades-long campaign of deception' about the effectiveness of #PlasticsRecycling.

    "In the civil lawsuit filed on Monday, Attorney General Rob Bonta accused Exxon of contributing to a 'deluge' of plastic pollution, while telling Californians that recycling was a fix.

    "'For decades, ExxonMobil has been deceiving the public to convince us that plastic recycling could solve the plastic waste and pollution crisis when they clearly knew this wasn’t possible,' Bonta said."

  13. Plastics recycling is a failure that contributes to microplastic pollution, according to a new study. This is because plastic recycling is inefficient, costly and contaminates the environment with tiny plastic particles that can harm wildlife and human health. The study argues that plastic recycling distracts from the real solution: reducing plastic production and consumption.

    Yes, but at what cost to the environment? Waste plastic in roads may be problematic for enhancing microplastics pollution through road abrasion. I haven't seen any peer reviewed studies assessing possible environmental implications.
