Australia’s plastic packaging system is being overhauled, which is good news for conscious consumers like Nadene, but some remain skeptical about how much recycling can realistically be achieved.

We have some resources to recycle plastic bags and film here in Seattle, but it’s sta hassle to collect and take to a participating facility, and how much of it gets thrown away?
We were supposed to have a plastic bag ban, but what really happened is all the stores just switched to “reusable” plastic bags which are the same design as before but now they’re like 5mil thick. So now instead of free thin bags that I line the bathroom trash can with, I pay 5 cents for a thick one (whether I want it or not in many cases) and there are probably a lot of thick “reusable” bags just getting thrown away, or in the bushes.
the thin bags are great for dog poop too.
