Post-consumer plastic bottle recycling dipped slightly in 2015 — the first drop in 25 years — at a time described as being difficult for the industry.
A new report from a pair of trade groups, the Association of Plastic Recyclers and the American Chemistry Council, shows the overall recycling rate fell to 31.1 percent last year, down from 31.7 percent in 2014.
Imagine what a container deposit scheme would do when bottle recycling rose to over 80%. But as we know the bottle industry doesn’t like that as their profits come before any recycling measures. They need to be incentivised otherwise.
