One of many - “Mechanical recycling can only be done a few times before the polymers break down and the quality of the plastic degrades.

Thanks, interesting read. My company makes plastic construction toys and we have to restrict the use of recycled plastic in the injection molding of the pieces. Too much non-virgin and flexibility of the parts is degraded. What you're saying makes sense. We need plastics for...
some stuff, but given that we with current tech have finite fossil fuel, we should not be using it for packaging when there are suitable infinitely recyclable alternatives.
