Ft Myers is burning their trash for electricity. I think that is an
excellent use. It is certainly a reliable fuel source.
I think they should be burning the paper and plastic "recycle" too.
Nobody has even convinced me trucking this stuff 500-1500 miles was
good for the environment or economically viable.
My neighbor, VP of Raymond Lumber, thought it might be a valuable
marketing tool to be able to say those recycled bottles you throw in
the blue tubs come back as the Trex he sells and add some gee whiz
info about the process.. In that little quest for knowledge he found
out we were trucking the plastic to a plant in New York.
The paper was being processed in Georgia.

I think the sale of water in plastic bottles should be outlawed. If
water must be sold, it should be done in glass and returned for a
deposit.

Why not just burn them in the waste to energy plant?

Why? I have rain gear made from recycled plastic bottles - soft,
pliable, wears like iron, easy to clean.

I also have a pair of sandals, first pair I've ever owned, that are
75% recycled plastic bottles. Same deal.

There's a lot you can do with recycled plastics.

Do you know how much energy it takes to ship glass?

Dunno - but I'll be it's about the same as it is to make new glass.

There is also the hazard broken glass poses in the whole retail to
recycle chain.

Huh?

We got away from glass bottles for a reason.

True enough I suppose, but glass is 100% recyclable.

Side note: Why does the word recyclable look misspelled? :)
