How does that blend with the garbage problem the world seems to be having since China stopped importing trash? Is it economical enough to recycle the used machines?
Disposable, used-once items are not automatically impossible to recycle or decompose.
You’re right that they’re not impossible to recycle or decompose. I asked about the economics of getting that done..There’s already a huge problem now that the Chinese are no longer buying trash to recycle cheaply. If the cost of recycling is factored in, do these once-use products remain affordable and profitable? They’re not made from paper, but from plastics and metals, which take specialized recycling.
