Article goes deep, but the headline takeaway is: you want to design plastics for recyclability by minimizing mix-ins, labels, dyes, adhesives, etc, keep them consistent and pure for easier separability into high-grade feedstock. Beyond that, chemical recycling techniques.

Good read by @TPolymerist on the plastic waste discourse. Something about this topic brings out the most disingenuous kinds of commentary by activists. Possibly because it’s aesthetics clickbait. Kinda like Retvrn trads going on about ugly architecture.
