THE ONcycling OPTION

FOREWORD:  'Recycling'tends to come with an expectation that  a material can be again what it once was. However, plastic is here to prove that while 'theoretically' a plastic bottle POSTconsumer, its 'plastic' can be recovered, and reused to produce a plastic bottle again. However, the evidence is that it is much more 'cost effective', or economically sustainable, or just plainy more profitable, to make more NEWplastic for the 'plastcic bottles' we want and that we have come to need.

Consequently, OLDplastic accumulates in THEenvironment,in warehouses and in LANDfill. Otherwise it is floating in a waterway or ocean somewhere by-and-large out of sight and for the most part out of mind. Well out of mind for legislators and regulators who, as it turns out are are dedicated to facilitating the maintenance of the status quo in the CULTURALlandscape rather than facilitate change – the changes needed to  accommodate change brought on by the disruptions and advances in technology and their aftermath.

It needs to be said here that what applies to 'plastics' also applies to a myriad of POSTconsumer materials and resources.

Essentially, all this is largely to do with the 'players' in governance's and civic administration's need to resist change in order to preserve their wellbeing, their salaries, their lifestyles. The schism that the world has come blighted by is the schism between the governors and the governed. One wanting/needing 'change' te other resisting change – albeit at various degrees. 

This needs to be said given that one way or another it is in the mindsets and background somewhere as the need for 'change', meaningful change, is grappled with and in terms of 'resource recovery' the time has come for a concerted effort to recover lost opportunities.....
