The problem isn’t individual consumers failing to take advantage of recycling programs or tossing takeout boxes into the wrong bins, the report makes clear.
Rather many plastics that consumers think they are recycling never make it through a recycling process.

"For more than half a century, the plastics industry has engaged in an aggressive campaign to deceive the public, perpetuating a myth that recycling can solve the plastics crisis.
The truth is: The vast majority of plastic cannot be recycled."-@AGRobBonta
