Don’t use whataboutism to shirk your responsibilities. Recycling properly is a good and necessary thing. Though it’d be more effective to create less waste in the first place.
Way to not understand the meme bro. This isn’t about shirking responsibilities or even not recycling. It is about the government telling us to recycle but not regulating big business at all. But go on with your liberal talking down on everyone schtick
Trash recycling is a scam advertised by plastics companies so they wouldn’t be regulated by tricking gullible people like you. Most trash that is “recycled” is put into a landfill with no processing.
It’s not “more effective”, producing less waste would be the only solution. Which we aren’t doing because, again, plastics companies paid for decades of propaganda.
Liberals love to not solve problems and then throw themselves dramatically onto phrases like “whataboutism”.

I wouldn’t say most trash, just most plastics. Glass and especially cardboard and aluminum are able to be recycled almost endlessly and are more efficient to recycle than their original production cost.
They are able to, that doesn’t mean they are. I cannot find any data on residential recycling rates, and I have to assume, given the track record, that capitalist countries are doing the most wasteful thing that is the worst for the environment.
For cardboard and especially aluminum/copper there’s actually a pretty compelling profit insensitive for recycling them. For glass, it kinda depends on your locality.
Recycling plastic is mostly bollocks by numbers. To go by EU figures at best slightly over half of it even is recycled, of which 35% is thermically recycled i.e. burned. Another 1,3 Million tonnes which I can’t be arsed to manually calculate the numbers for get “shipped for processing” i.e. end up in a landfill / ocean / slum someplace else.
