Once again, we are being told that recycling is a lie. That the recyclables we sort and place on the curbside are just mixed with garbage and shipped overseas. That we are sending our trash to unsuspecting countries. Once again, this is not true.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent attack came in a Valentine\u2019s Day&nbsp;<em>The New York Times<\/em>&nbsp;opinion piece&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/14\/opinion\/trash-recycling-global-waste-trade.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Story You Have Been Told About Recycling Is A Lie<\/a>. We are told that we stopped sending our trash to the nearest landfill and instead chose to send it across the oceans. This, of course, is utter nonsense. Why would anyone send garbage overseas when the transportation cost to the nearest landfill and its tipping fee is so much less than the cost of sending it further?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is particularly egregious is the lack of data. We aren\u2019t told what \u201ctrash\u201d is or how many tons we ship to other countries. Nor are we told about the hundreds of millions of tons of metals, paper, glass, plastics and electronics that are routinely recycled throughout the world. Why mess up a good story with facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reality that con artists sell bales of contaminated \u201crecyclables\u201d is nothing new. That\u2019s why the Recycled Materials Association developed\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.remaspecs.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">specifications<\/a>\u00a0defining hundreds of grades of metal, paper, glass, plastic and electronic recyclables. Those specs include strict limits on \u201ccontaminants\u201d and \u201cprohibitives\u201d so that buyers get raw materials, not trash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of sending our plastic recyclables willy nilly throughout the world, the United States is actually a net importer. According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/resource-recycling.com\/plastics\/2025\/02\/20\/rpet-imports-raise-industry-concerns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Plastic Recycling Update<\/a>, U.S. trade data shows that \u201cIn 2024, total scrap plastics imports rose by 9% to 492,139 metric tons, while exports fell by about 2% to 409,601 metric tons\u201d. Just over half of that is recycled PET.\u00a0 Those imports are causing problems for American plastic recyclers who can\u2019t compete with their low price.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0If you want more analysis of the many flaws in the op-ed, see what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/adam-minter-312156198_opinion-the-story-youve-been-told-about-activity-7297359496434094080-Iqeq?utm_source=social_share_send&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop_web&amp;rcm=ACoAAAP1B3kBpLazZz5q_At_wnmgrqxImbh63go\">Adam Minter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/robiningenthron_good-point-ethical-electronics-recycling-activity-7302134083843751936-S3Wa?utm_source=social_share_send&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop_web&amp;rcm=ACoAAAP1B3kBpLazZz5q_At_wnmgrqxImbh63go\">Robin Ingenthron <\/a>wrote on LinkedIn. I don\u2019t need to repeat their arguments here, but if you are on LinkedIn, read them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, one state recycling association, <a href=\"https:\/\/massrecycle.org\/\">MassRecycle<\/a>, has done a stellar job of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.waste360.com\/waste-recycling\/recycling-works-if-we-don-t-counter-the-naysayers-it-won-t\">combatting misinformation<\/a>. We need more state and national groups to push back against the naysayers and ensure the press knows what is really happening. The Maryland Recycling Network is sponsoring a March 27 webinar \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marylandrecyclingnetwork.org\/content.aspx?page_id=4091&amp;club_id=685083&amp;item_id=2523065\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Recycling Works! Tell the Story\u201d<\/a>. Gretchen Carey, MassRecycles\u2019 President and I will be on the webinar. Join us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To the author of the<em>\u00a0Times<\/em>\u00a0piece, feel free to attack the con artists and frauds. But don\u2019t make all of recycling collateral damage in your crusade. Join a crew collecting recyclables from the curbside, visit a Materials Processing Facility, meet with the thousands of Americans working in the recycling industry. Recycling is far from perfect and even further from a lie. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.waste360.com\/waste-recycling\/groundhog-day-alert-recycling-under-attack-again\">More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chaz Miller,\u00a040-year veteran of the waste and recycling industry, Waste360, February 26, 2025 (excerpts) Once again, recycling is under attack.
