Ah, Halloween.
Should have known.
What has?
Dutchy here. Rotterdam specifically.
PET is recycled as in: every supermarket has an drop off point, giving you back 25cnt for every large bottle, 15cnt for small and cans.
Plastic in the general garbage is separated (not 100%, but still) and either separated (polystyrene is easy to detect and seperate for instance) or sold to companies that repurpose them (more and more of those white triangle things in the corners of roads are repurposed strengthened plastics now).
I'm sure plenty will find its way to either landfill (that we don't have much) or gets burnt. But it's not as bad as the US, which was my point in the first place.
Ah yes, a YouTube video.
Hope you ever find yourself in Western Europe, where we actually do recycle.
Not long. That's why we recycle. Part of that is these stupid hinges.
I don't like them, but we need them.
i closed lemmy because of you, F you.
Do not dare to speak on my behalf with that tone.
You describe a US problem. Keep that in mind or STFU.
Just throwing this in here because it reminded me of it.
The Netherlands? Urk.
This feels so good. Like putting on those old jeans and finding out that despite it being a decade old, it still fits you.
Couldn't even afford a decent photo, had to use the el-cheapo version.
I feel attacked.....
Getting paid in exposure.
