Plastic recycling is pretty much a dead industry. There is so little municipal plastic recycling done, and so precious little done with what plastic is recycled, that plastic continues to just build up in waste.

Some companies are attempting to use recycled plastic, such as the building industries, but where it is most needed, consumer plastics, is badically dead. Even LEGO declined to use recycled plastic.

We must move away from plastic as rapidly as possible. That is a monumental endeavor but it is necessary.
