Plastic Recycling Crisis: Low Rates, Hazardous Additives, and the Need for Systemic Change
Only 10% of all plastic produced has been recycled, and just 1% twice, due to the cost of recycling, difficult-to-recycle plastic types, hazardous additives, and a lack of infrastructure; experts propose solutions like microfactories and strict global regulations.
