Recycling programs should just burn plastics in power plants at this point. It’s a waste to just throw them into the landfill.

To be fair, they're actually recycling #1 and #2 rigid containers. It's everything else that's not making it.

The better move is to avoid manufacturing other plastics for most consumer products.
