Are you also happy that every time you throw plastic in the yellow bin, you do at least a little bit for the planet? I will not hide the fact that, of course, we also sort all the waste at home and compost most of the biological waste.
But have you ever wondered what actually happens to your sorted (not to be confused with recycled…) plastics?
You also read the headlines everywhere, like people here and in Europe sorts up to 70% plastics? Looks cool, right? And so a person ceases to be interested in the further fate of his PET bottle, because he thinks that it is solved and it ends with sorting.
But the funny thing is that the number of how many plastics are sorted, AT ALL it says nothing about what really happens to the sorted plastics... I won't stress you out, according to the OECD - is recycled ONLY about 9% of plastics.
I wasn't under any illusions and suspected that some of the plastics I had sorted out it burns normally, or exported to China for landfills, but I had no idea that it was so bad and that it was the vast majority.
And I'm not even talking about the fact that companies that sort plastics and then "ecologically burn them" earn a lot from subsidies and government contracts.
Take ten minutes of your time because the documentary is definitely worth it.
You will best support my work buys books,
if you don't read, you can and otherwise....
Sorted plastics are usually used for fuel, for which there is already an intense fight, from municipal waste, plastics etc. are sorted and from this is fuel, for which the fight is already starting. It will mostly be burned by heating plants with good gas cleaning, preferably with cogeneration (???).
How to limit the absurdly high consumption of disposable packaging?
Recycling was introduced worldwide as a tool to teach citizens to follow regulations. Forcing citizens to sort their waste into separate bags and containers or boxes every week had absolutely nothing to do with “saving the planet” and everything to do with teaching citizens to behave “responsibly”, i.e. to do what they are told without thinking too much about the reasons for what they are being told.
Of course, recycling has never had anything to do with protecting the planet. Most of the garbage sorted, washed and collected was taken abroad, by trucks, ships or trains, and there burned or dumped in a landfill. Recycling the collected material was simply impractical and cost inefficient. And, of course, the collection of sorted waste was associated with huge financial costs and pollution.
Today, the recycling business has reached the height of madness. Councils are introducing increasingly complex rules and fees. Unsurprisingly, littering has become a major problem. The biggest cause of plastic in the sea is discarded fishing gear and plastic waste (much of it officially labeled as recycled) that has been discarded from ships.
Meanwhile, on the lying "shit-shooters" (list, etc.) following the "protocol":
Czechs sort, but waste from yellow bins often cannot be reused:

= I really like it, as always, after some "hot" thing, the lying media always has to have the floor xD Whether it's about chemtrails (see the discussion forum on ZF), or about the saving covid "vaccines" (they recently admitted something to the effect that infertility is "short-term" and rare, or something like that :D), etc.
The media cesspool simply has to go according to the notes, to order, always have the LAST WORD.
Because, everything that is a different opinion is, after all, DISINFORMATION..
And misinformation is anything they don't want said OUT LOUD.
I have also experienced garbage collectors who threw all sorts of waste into the car, without sorting it, and not once. I started to doubt it a long time ago. Most plastics cannot be recycled and never have been. That has been said many times in the past. I have seen a lot of documentaries, one of the ones that stuck in my head was called "oceans of plastic" or something like that. They also talked about it there, that most plastics cannot be "recycled", etc. And those are documents that are a year old. But be careful, it doesn't only apply to plastics, as far as I know, mainly glass! We don't sort it because it's there, but because it's easier to throw it away. This has been related to the =GREEN DEAL= from the beginning, when all the eco wind turbines and solar and wind power plants turned out to be completely useless, it's all a scam...
