Companies have known for DECADES that recycling plastic isn't feasible

Big Oil companies and plastic producers have known for more than 30 years that recycling is not a permanent solution, a new report has claimed.

The left-leaning Center for Climate Integrity (CCI) found that companies including Exxon Chemical, and the Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI) have misled the public about recycling to avoid regulatory action and revenue losses.

The report claimed that the plastic industry has been aware that certain plastics are impossible to repurpose, but are mixed in with those that can, making sorting difficult and expensive.
