This particular lesson discusses the seven different types of plastic and how these categories may or may not help with the recycling process. Sad fact: Did you know that of all the plastic produced worldwide since the 1950s, only 9% of that has been recycled? Once you listen to how plastic recycling actually works, you’ll see why reducing your use is really the best option. You can learn more about Commune at onecommune.com.
