Comment on What plastics can and can't be recycled? In San Francisco, it's confusing

Paper, glass, steel, aluminium. All incredibly cheap and easy to recycle.
I agree plastic is harder to recycle, but the main reason for this is that raw plastic (from companies like Mobil) is so cheap that there isn’t the incentive to use recycled plastic.
Doesn’t mean we should not try. Or better yet, reduce the amount of single use plastics. Does that 4 pack of oranges really need to be plastic wrapped?
