Guess what % of plastics have been #recycled? No prizes :(

@infobeautiful thanks for sharing! I see again the infamous 1% :(

In this case #greenwashing #plastics through the concept of #recycling to keep the profits for the #top1pct is one
.
Only a meager 16% of recycled plastic is actually reused. Only 1.4% of used once plastic is reused

Of course I will keep recycling plastic and we all should but the difference can only be made by reducing / eliminating the use of plastic, especially single use plastics. (Hard to do but trying)

Italy's competition watchdog has imposed a €1 million fine on China-founded online fast fashion retailer Shein for misleading customers about the environmental impact of its products. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/08/05/companies/italian-regulator-shein-greenwashing/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #italy #shein #greenwashing #fastfashion
