Real, unfortunately… like the amount of plastic I recycle at home in a month is probably less than we go through at my warehouse in ~30 minutes… not even accounting all the plastic in the other stages of shipping… having worked one step down the line from my current job, we used thrice as much there basically… and of course the stuff we get at the warehouse is also all wrapped in plastic by the previous guys
Where does all that stuff go after it’s used? I can’t imagine it’s all recycled properly (let alone reused) but also not really that the bulk is not separated out at such volumes
We do separate out plastic, cardboard etc. At my current job but im not sure if it went to recycling or if it was just dumped somewhere with other trash, that’s a bit beyond the scope of my work.
The last one we really didn’t, so im certain that’s all going straight to the landfill
I fear that no amount of plastic saving by the general population will even come close to the amount of plastic wasted at the industrial scale.
