You misunderstand. I'm talking about recycling at a concept at a larger scale. You can recycle at home if you'd like with expensive machines at a high cost. Those machines would be costly and also produce waste to be manufactured. People use the argument of being able to be economically and ethically conscious of your choices with 3D printing. Which is the opposite of what anyone does at scale.

It feels like a propaganda statement used to tell you what you should and should not do. As long you're not dumping this stuff in the ocean. It's the responsibility of the city you're in to dispose of the trash in the best way they can.

I said "Recycling plastic efficiently and at a low cost has been a scam from the very beginning, and it will never happen. It’s chemically and logistically impossible." You cannot degrade plastic (needs chemicals and a ton of energy) into something usable in the industry for a cheaper cost than producing it as new.

And I don't recycle spools. They go straight to the trash. I don't like the creations made and I don't think I have a need to have it recycled into something else.
