    1. The best part is, in most places in the US and in a few other countries I know about, all the “recycling” goes to the same land fill lmao.

      Its sad really.

    2. If I remember right Dubai has trash sorting facilities. Those bins of mixed waste go there and the recycling gets sorted from the trash.

    3. I mean even in the west. Only a tiny percentage of the said recyclable items get recycled. The rest get shipped to China and then to Philippines or whichever Country that wants to take it.

    4. In Toronto, it just got confirmed that the recycle and garbage bin difference is mostly ceremonial and it all ends up in landfill.

      Its always nice learning how much your efforts at being environmentally minded get fucked by policy.

      This isn’t new, and of course you can’t vouch for how they’re dealing with it, but there are companies that separate this stuff too.

      It’s like this EVERYWHERE. Even if they have you believing it’s seperate and sorted and recycled 80% is not. Lies I tell you! All lies!

      Same shit as in Belgium, you need to have separate recycling bags and they just trow everything in the same garbage truck. Bags are overpriced and crappy so all the stuff must be mixed in there

      To be fair, this is essentially how a LOT of ‘recycling’ programs work on the back end.
