We’re talking about whether recycling is feasible.

Whether or not it is feasible is decided by how hard it is to do compared to just making new materials.

Your comment seemed to be saying the contaminates in recycling make them harder to recycle back to their raw materials (compared to making new raw materials).

Raw materials come from the ground. By your standards of “contamination” aren’t raw materials much more contaminated?

A lot of work goes into refining glass, aluminum, steel, copper etc. A lot of impurities have to be removed to make those materials for the first time.

Votes are a metric to measure engagement. Which is valuable information
