![Still tossing plastic in the trash? You might want to rethink that. ā»ļøš®
Hereās what actually happens when you do it and what you should do instead:
š§¬ Plastics donāt disappear, they break down into micro and nanoplastics through heat, UV, and time (often the conditions of landfills and oceans where they end up).
š«The trash can isnāt a solution itās just a detour to landfills, oceans, or other countries, leading to the waste of one of our most versatile resources.
š Real Solution: Recycling right = Clean, dry, and sorted by type. Tossing dirty or mixed plastics into the bin can contaminate the whole batch and send it all to landfill.
š When done right, recycled plastic can be turned into shoes, roads, furniture, and more.
š Climate win: Recycling plastic can slash COā emissions by up to 70% compared to making new plastic.
So, refuse, reuse, and recycle right.
