      The best solution is to try to avoid buying things with plastic, and repurposing plastic that you do have to buy.

      It’s not really that much of an answer, but plastic recycling is entirely greenwashing by the industry.

        I try where possible but companies have cottoned on to this and now charge more for the greener option.

        " Oh you want to buy recycled paper towel that comes wrapped in paper and not plastic? Thats $2 more than the non-recycled one which is wrapped in plastic, cough up you green cuck! "
