Recycling properly is a good and necessary thing.

Recycling plastic is mostly bollocks by numbers. To go by EU figures at best slightly over half of it even is recycled, of which 35% is thermically recycled i.e. burned. Another 1,3 Million tonnes which I can't be arsed to manually calculate the numbers for get "shipped for processing" i.e. end up in a landfill / ocean / slum someplace else.
