A new white paper from the National Waste and Recycling Association (NWRA) aims to dispel the plastic recycling myths perpetuated by mainstream media outlets.
These reports are harming rather than helping the public as they search for accurate information about how to recycle. Media reports stating that it “just doesn’t work,” only discourages recycling.
“This is the opposite reaction needed to address the issue of plastic waste,” the NWRA stated. “Instead, we should focus our efforts on improving plastic recycling.”
