As you can see in “Plastic Recycling Doesn’t Work and Will Never Work” on our “Why It Matters” page under “Truth about Recycling”, the single-use plastic recycling system does not work effectively.  In some locations, single-use plastic recycling is more effective than others.

Check out your waste management company and follow their guidance.  The best way, of course, is to keep reducing your use of single-use plastic! ♼

The good news is that many products can be recycled or reused effectively – clothing, construction materials, automotive waste, paper, electronics, and more.  For example, clothing can be donated and reused or the fabric turned into other items.

Some companies, like Patagonia, accept their own clothing back, and other stores have bins to collect clothing and accessories of any brand.
