    You mean you have to remove the plastic label before you throw the bottle into a recycling bin which gets dumped into a landfill never to be seen again.

        But, but, but, they’re going to eventually mine all the plastic out of the landfills because at some point will be swimming in so much energy and time that turning it back into the little bit of oil that was used to make it Will be our sacred duty as humans. Tomorrow us will definitely mine all that back out and turn it back into oil right?

      And that’s if they’re lucky. There’s also a decent chance it will end up piled up on some foreign beach/riverbank to slowly leach into the ocean.
