@HirokoTabuchi@CleanAirMoms I know what is technically recyclable in my area but I wish I knew if it was actually being recycled. And even if it is actually recycled, I know plastic can’t be recycled in perpetuity and will eventually be thrown out if it isn’t made into something durable.

@brkfreeplastic@CocaColaCo Coca cola still hasn’t met its 1990 commitment to 25% PCR plastic bottles. Be careful about labeling announcements like this as progress. Often these “commitments” are just greenwashing. Please spread awareness about actual progress towards circularity, not empty promises.
