someone still need to recycle stuff that's being used. Not that I disagree that they're trying to shfit to blame to consumers, just practically speaking

I admit biology isn't my field of expertise, but if there's plastic in my danglies, does that mean my kids will be action figures, or will that take several more generations?

This is a PSA that as a whole, the plastics recycling and packaging industry isn't well regulated, and all those plastic drink and soda bottles at the grocery store that now say "Made with recycled plastics"? You have NO idea what type of plastics are in there now or the level of decay, and neither do the manufacturers.

Do not drink out of, eat out of, or wear anything that is made from recycled plastics.

Recycled plastics encountered in the world should be assumed to be toxic unless you know for certain they aren't, and should not be considered fit for food use, medical use, or prolonged human contact.
