Why not make them out of recycled plastic?

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
Because recycling costs more money (collecting, cleaning/sorting - not all plastics can be recycled - transportation - these factories are often in China unless it’s small scale in which case the costs and environmental impact increase) and often these 100% recycled products are not, maybe 60% at best.Fred Edwards wrote: ↑Thu Apr 21, 2022 11:17 pmI can't understand why someone hasn't invested in making protractors and rulers etc out of wood again.Spigzy wrote: ↑Thu Apr 21, 2022 10:34 pmHasn't changed my stance one bit:

The whole recycling thing is a big expensive con. Take those “compostable” food containers. Most need a dedicated composting site in place otherwise they’ll sit in landfill or just litter the river ways the same as plastic and not decompose. Or they’re not compostable at all.
Off the top of my head the only ones that are are recycled cardboard and bagasse but they’re all made in China, or imported through Vietnam/Thailand to get the “Made in Vietnam” stamp. Plus they’re expensive.
Using land to make products is a non starter same as they realised for bio diesel. Land is needed for food production.

Freddy, you have 1968 posts, I have replied to only 2 of the 1968 since my birth 65 years ago. Besides saving the earth and preventing global warming from continuing by making wooden protractors, you brilliantly suggested Sweden pay reparations to the American Indian.
Freddy, you are a man with his ear to the ground when it current events are discussed. Your knowledge of the minutiae is astounding and may I say, there is nothing to petty or insignificant to escape your viselike mental grip.

( a sustainable resource ) will not make an iota of difference in climate change.
The definition of "viselike" is in all English language dictionaries.
viselike
/ˈvīsˌlīk/
adjective
adjective: viselike
extremely tight and firm.
I was being sarcastic of course in reference to
Ed Fredward's mental grip.

"The recycling of plastics fits into the waste hierarchy as an efficient and sustainable use of material resources. ".
Freddy, luckily very few of your posts are actually read so not many will know how foolish you appear from your derisive comment.
I am sure you don't keep track of what you post as you put the intellectual effort into your posts equal to passing wind.
You are the poster child of quantity over quality. A bottomless pit of self congratulations and grandiose buffoonary.
And now you comment on a third post of mine, roughly 1 in 10 (10%) and I have commented on 4 of 1969 or roughly 1 in 500. (.2%) Is unrequited love a pattern in your life?
If I were on onlyfans you would be my regular but seriously it appears that the part time assistant weekend moderator wannabe has selected me for his special attention.
Just one question Freddy, how do you keep the hand lotion off the keyboard ?

I dunno. As counterintuitive as it may sound it seems to me that as plastic exists and we can’t turn back time, and as there is clearly demand for plastic packaging still, then recycling it is very environmentally friendly.
What is the option? Burying it and hoping it goes away?

Plastics have a very good environmental profile. Only 4% of the world's oil production is used for plastics and much less energy is used to produce it compared to other materials. Plastics are durable yet lightweight and thus save weight in cars, aircraft, packaging and pipework.

Less than 10% of plastic is recycled. You note of course I stated "recycled".

Why did you choose a bloodsucking parasite as a username?
Flea is from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Sorry I hope you didn't take offence it was just a question .
So choosing the paedophiles name was deliberate I thought you did it by mistake!

No offence taken. Anthony is the 38th most popular name in America. Anthony Wiener is infact a disgraced politician's name. My username is Anthony's Wiener as in the wiener belonging to Anthony. (The possessive apostrophe s).
A play on words so to speak. The likelihood of choosing a well known politician by mistake is unlikely.
Do you find that most people associate your username with a bloodsucking parasite or with the band member of a band founded nearly 40 years ago?
Why did you choose Flea over Slash or Bono?
