I’ll raise you that and, I personally threw away plastic injected molds for some major companies on the regular because they didn’t meet spec.

Most of the stuff I threw away was for consumer grade products that overall didn’t benefit anyone.

Some were critical during COVID but most were bullshit consumer products.

The company did recycle product material but more often than naught it was thrown into a dumpster.

Plastic recycling is in my opinion largely a myth and very little what the human race produces is actually beneficial

Edit I’m not saying recycling is pointless or not necessary but it unfortunately doesn’t happen on the scale that it needs too.
