Plastic

“Plastic recycling is failing to scale anywhere near fast enough and remains a marginal activity in the sector”

Rightly so too. In general, plastics just aren’t suitable for recycling. That’s a chemical problem and there’s no use pretending otherwise.

So you either stop using plastic or get really good at capturing it as waste and sending it to deep landfill, from whence it came.

It’s worth noting that it’s estimated that 78% of all microplastics in the environment are from wear and tear on car tyres in use on vehicles. Not shopping bags that are chucked away.

So those concerned people better stop owning cars.
