@sj_zero I don't comprehend the exact meaning of this sentence, and if recycling vs reuse is intentional or not.
The plastic industry would have us believe that plastic is a highly recyclable material, but in reality, it's not like aluminum, paper, and glass (although there are too many varieties of glass). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_recycling
It's from an editing session for my next book, and in the book, recycling is recycling.
