Plastics recycling is a failure that contributes to microplastic pollution, according to a new study. This is because plastic recycling is inefficient, costly and contaminates the environment with tiny plastic particles that can harm wildlife and human health. The study argues that plastic recycling distracts from the real solution: reducing plastic production and consumption.
