Recycling has been a priority for consumers and processors for years, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is not affecting their views.
A Consumer Brands Association survey of 1,000 American adults offers some clues into the future of recycling. When asked about the best way to deal with plastic waste, 62% of the respondents agree that improving the recycling system so it can efficiently process plastic is best. Another 20% are unsure, and 17% say the U.S. should ban single-use plastic.
