In a perfect world, this plastic would be recycled into new products that live full, useful lives. Unfortunately, it is estimated that only 16% of this plastic waste is recycled. Why is this? The reasons are varied and very much localized. Some cities and countries lack collection systems, others don’t have plastic recyclers locally, meaning that there is no infrastructure to close the recycling loop. The biggest problem though is that new, fossil- based plastic is still very inexpensive. Going sustainable has a cost, but it’s something that more and more brands are choosing as consumer preferences shift and climate change awareness increases.
