6even when recycled the whole process increases the amount of plastics in the air.

And plastic in general is always going to eventually end up in the enviroment. There is only so many times you can heat and melt plastic before its bonds start to collasps.

Right from day one recycling was a plastics industries attempt to green wash and delay shut down/ replacement.

Many better options exist. The only issue is production cost. And that will not improve while corperations continue to use plastic as the cheap solution.

The industry knew what they were doing when they claimed plastic could be recycled. And need to suffer for the lie that it was a solution to the harm their product dose.
