Do you think that plastic recycling, as it exists today, cannot work at the scales we need? Then this episode is for you as we attack the issue from different angles.

In this episode of the Redefining Plastics Podcast, hosts Samantha Ryan and Justin Riney discuss the critical issue of creating demand to make recycling work. They start with a playful game of 'Two Truths and a Lie' involving pop culture and plastics.

The focus then shifts to the challenges faced by the recycling industry, including the need for market stimuli and long-term commitments from big brands to buy recycled content. They explore the economic and logistical issues that hinder effective recycling and call for more action and less talk from consumer packaging companies.

The episode wraps up with the hosts expressing frustration about the current state of recycling and emphasizing the need for genuine commitments to make recycling viable. This video is part of the Redefining Plastics podcast on plastics recycling, plastics sustainability, and the narrative around plastics.
