The Reality Behind the Plastic Recycling Challenge

Recycling remains an important tool for reducing waste, but many plastics never enter the recycling system due to collection challenges, contamination, and economics. Items such as snack wrappers and other flexible packaging are often left out of curbside programs despite being recyclable.
