I sometimes get annoyed when people refer to the act of placing a bunch of empty containers on the curb or in a bin as recycling. Think about it. Plastic recycling is much more complicated than that. It might shock some people to know that their municipalities are not recycling some materials at all. There are situations where recyclable material is simply being stockpiled while the government people try to figure out a cost effective way to recycle it.
Scrap HDPE is a secondary commodity that has a positive value when it is sorted and compressed into big cubes.
I am trying to reduce my plastic consumption, but I also try to recycle the HDPE that I do end up purchasing.
