Two panel meme comparing two photos of actor Willem Dafoe. Left panel: Willem Dafoe by a harbour in Wes Anderson’s The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, smiling, with the caption “me when I thought recycling would save the world.” Right panel: a black and white image of Dafoe in Robert Eggers’ The Lighthouse, dressed as a grizzled lighthouse keeper, looking tired and serious, with the caption “me after I found out that plastic corporations invented plastic recycling to put the responsibility onto the consumer even though they knew plastic recycling was not chemically or financially feasible, and now I have plastic in my brain, lungs and testicles.”

Common Dreams article screenshot - by Brett Wilkins Dec 03, 2025 Report Shows How Recycling Is Largely a ‘Toxic Lie’ Pushed by Plastics Industry “These corporations and their partners continue to sell the public a comforting lie to hide the hard truth: that we simply have to stop producing so much plastic,” said one campaigner. A report published Wednesday by Greenpeace exposes the plastics industry as “merchants of myth” still peddling the false promise of recycling as a solution to the global pollution crisis, even as the vast bulk of commonly produced plastics remain unrecyclable. “After decades of meager investments accompanied by misleading claims and a very well-funded industry public relations campaign aimed at persuading people that recycling can make plastic use sustainable, plastic recycling remains a failed enterprise that is economically and technically unviable and environmentally unjustifiable,” the report begins.
