This week, Coca-Cola, one of the world’s biggest plastic polluters, teamed up with TV’s favorite scientist for a campaign to create a “world without waste,” a joke of a corporate greenwashing campaign.
In a video innocuously titled “The Coca-Cola Company and Bill Nye Demystify Recycling,” an animated version of Nye—with a head made out of a plastic bottle and his signature bow tie fashioned from a Coke label—walks viewers through the ways “the good people at the Coca-Cola company are dedicating themselves to addressing our global plastic waste problem.”

I've worked in waste management before, and I can tell you that most of the plastic that's 'recycled' is absolutely not recycled at all. green washing capitalists don't even do the actual bare fucking minimum they say they will, which won't stop climate collapse, because that costs money, so they just lie
Yeah, most places don't have mrfs anyways because they cost like $300million to build our something. Recycling is either directly bailed and sent to the 3rd world using bunker oil burning ships or just mixed in with the regular landfill trash (after extracting fines from individuals who didn't put the right thing in the right bin of course)
