The UK government just delayed mandatory household flexible plastic recycling from 2027 to 2030.
If you ask me, collecting the plastic waste has never been the hard part.
The real challenge is building a SYSTEM that can actually sort and recycle it at a national scale.
Some people see this delay as a massive setback for the environment.
Others see it as a realistic admission that our current recycling system simply isn't ready.
The truth is, again, collecting the plastic waste has never been the hard part.
The real challenge is building a system that can actually sort and recycle it at a NATIONAL scale.
Personally, I think we should focus on how to move forward with this.
The decision has been made, so let's get working.
