All a load of bollocks anyway, is recycling!
I used to work at an award winning municipal waste incinerator, all your bin rubbish and carefully sorted recycling crap went there, some of it to be magically, turned into electricity! The bin rubbish was the licence to print money going straight in the furnace, the re-cycled stuff was mere cynical lip service to the Environment Agency.
Have a guess wot happened to all the crap you lot so dutifully sorted out for us into various boxes, bins and wotnots when it snowed? No bin rubbish to burn meant no gorging on the golden goose, so we incinerated all yer re-cycled crap under the cover of darkness, and maintained throughput/profit to the grid.
Best carry on assiduously washing and polishing yer baked bean tins though, it kind of makes you feel good all over, dunnit?

lol

....so your buisness commited fraud and is corrupt then?

Neat.

Time to lock the thread please.

I am afraid so. Seems like no thread is inocent enough to not carry a seed of polemisation.

I have always wondered about how metal (not lead any more in most cases) compares to plastic minis in terms of environmental impact.
I have to admit that as much as I like plastics there is a tendency to buy more of them because of their cheapness.
With regards to recycling. The local one to me is involved in using plastics etc in some pretty innovative projects including the recycled plastic Glastonbury stage project.
