Saw a bit behind the scenes of another plastic recycling company once a long time ago. It looked very dodgy to me. I probably can’t say much more since the fraud case ended with a not guilty verdict and I don’t want to risk defaming anyone but the actual processing part looked like a pilot plant to me and couldn’t have been doing much volume while the offices were in a high rent location. It didn’t add up. I think it is in the interests of a lot of companies to green wash plastic packaging and some government funding of recycling operations has possibly been fraudulent.
Plastic packaging needs to be viewed as harmful waste again and not as a recyclable product and consumers need to change their purchasing habits to avoid it.
I am just old enough to remember there was barely any plastic packaging as a kid and we coped fine without it.
