This week's opinion piece takes a critical stance on the current state of recycling infrastructure.

Host Lorraine Dallmeier unpacks the troubling realities behind "recycle-ready". While the term might sound promising, it is misleading. It will only be recyclable if and when a capable future recycling system is in place.
