Sweden sends less than 1% of trash to landfills. The rest goes to making fuel, and energy, and reused, not resycled.

Are you thinking about the environment? Do you realize plastic is killing animals? Are you minimizing what you throw in the trash, instead reusing everything? Are you redusing and recycling??

Reading that again, having just returned from a food-shopping, it struck me one of the biggest problems is not "plastic" (what type and in what forms?) in the "developed" world anyway, but wasted food.

Maybe the biggest problem...

@ArishMell Yes it is and should be composted not sent to landfill . I cant understand why farmers dont have it delivered and spread on fields would save on industrial fertilizers .

@Rhode57 It cannot be used as fertiliser without being turned into compost first, and I think some is. It is still "industrial" fertiliser though, as it needs that processing.
