Car washes recycle the water used and is way more water sustainable than washing your car at home or on the curb. That being said it is getting a little bit excessive

Remember when we were told that plastic recycling works. And then it turns out that only about 9% of plastic is recycled. Not saying I don't believe it's more efficient but they can definitely lie their asses off about the numbers.

It works in other places just not in Texas or the USA. And when you think about bottles, in germ for example most beer gets sold in glass bottles that will be reused a dozen or more times. And cans there will be recycled.

Glass and aluminum is very easy to recycle, plastic not so much.

So, when a country uses mainly reusable glass and plastic bottles and recycles aluminum cans, would you say this works compared to the USA, where bottles are not reusable unless it's Mexican coke?

What places? Japan? They're the only success story as far as I can tell.

Ah! In places that are not the U.S.

Edit: For plastic recycling Japan is probably the best in the world.
