Are you regulating the companies that did all this propaganda to make them either do it or shut up?
Or are you getting angry at the abstract concept of recycling?
You keep talking about plastic recycling, but the EU rules made Starbucks stop using plastic for these cups! In America they use a hard to recycle plastic and lie about it to their customers.
Make the corporations pay for it with Extended Producer Responsibility laws and they'll use less plastic. They'll make what they do use easier to recycle. Because it will cost them money if they don't.
If the companies ship stuff abroad and that's bad then ban it. Like the EU has done.

> The new Regulation on waste shipments entered into force on 20 May 2024. It aims to:
> Ensure that the EU does not export its waste challenges to third countries and contributes to environmentally sound management of waste.
> Strengthen enforcement to prevent illegal shipments of waste occurring within the EU, as well as from the EU to third countries.
> Increase traceability of waste shipments within the EU and facilitate recycling and reuse.
