You can’t actually “recycle” plastic.
It doesn’t just like, melt down and get poured in a new mould or something.
It’s a total fraud. After people saying this for decades and those stupid recycling bins being put everywhere still, the mainstream media finally admitted the whole thing was a scam earlier this year.
This is a highly toxic process which adds a whole bunch of new toxins to the plastic, and makes it much less stable, allowing it to leech even more into the environment.
Children put these toys in their mouths, by the way. Just so you understand.
Toymaker Lego said on Wednesday it was on track to replace the fossil fuels used in making its signature bricks with more expensive renewable and recycled plastic by 2032 after signing deals with producers to secure long-term supply.
Lego, which sells billions of plastic bricks annually, has tested over 600 different materials to develop a new material that would completely replace its oil-based brick by 2030, but with limited success.
Now, Lego is aiming to gradually bring down the oil content in its bricks by paying up to 70% more for certified renewable resin, the raw plastic used to manufacture the bricks, in an attempt to encourage manufacturers to boost production.
“This means a significant increase in the cost of producing a Lego brick,” CEO Niels Christiansen told Reuters.
…
“With a family-owner committed to sustainability, it’s a privilege that we can pay extra for the raw materials without having to charge customers extra,” Christiansen said.
…
Lego’s suppliers are using bio-waste such as cooking oil or food industry waste fat as well as recycled materials to replace virgin fossil fuels in plastic production.
I think this is mostly just a scam for Lego to charge even more.
Meanwhile, the Chinese Lego knock-offs are actually much better quality and have some much funner models.
I don’t know why people don’t use those instead.

“The results add to the increasing evidence that plastic recycling spreads toxic chemicals uncontrollably and is not a solution to the plastic crisis”

Recycling plastics is a scam. Not only can most plastics not be recycled, in attempting to do so we may have created a bigger problem— toxic microplastics and nanoplastics. pic.twitter.com/JrXnPWh22K
