except here in sweden we're verifiably recycling a significant percentage of our plastics, and have like.. the world leading recycling facility.

It's clearly doable, countries just opt not to invest in the facilities to actually do it, and rather than reaching the obvious conclusion of "just build the recycling facilities" people conclude that plastic apparently cannot be recycled (despite evidence to the contrary).

Yeah this was part of the article. Basically we can do it well, we (most of the world) just don't.
