    Only using the plastic junk to make more plastic trinkets is not successfully recycling, no matter how they market it as such. It needs to be used for practical value products at least in part or it’s just another way of reformatting the trash

        People will say this to pretend you shouldn’t criticize any incentives that have decent effects. Cleaning it and putting in landfills is better than oceans. But making more trash to be thrown out isn’t solving anything

          I literally have a pair of the sunglasses I bought many years ago when they first came out.

          How is that trash, please explain.

      You’re not wrong. Stuff like construction materials would be better. Hopefully this is a step towards that.
