With plastic pollution littering the planet, certification organizations are popping up to sell “plastic credits” to companies, allowing them to offset the plastic they make and use with equivalent plastic waste collected and reused. Critics are skeptical.
Why don’t we just require everything to be made out of clear PET?
Like, seriously. Why are we allowing plastic companies to produce millions of pounds of barely recyclable crap?
You know what’s even more recyclable? Glass.
Only around 25% of PET plastic is recycled anyway (In the USA), so I don’t think that will help.
