Many cities allow people to put things in bins that are not locally recyclable.\u00a0 Pretending that polypropylene #5 plastics like yogurt cups are widely recyclable only drives down the effectiveness of recycling materials like aluminum and paper. Less than 30% of Americans have access to recycling systems that accept it, and the vast majority of polypropylene packaging will end up in landfills and incinerators regardless of whether people put them in recycling bins \u2013 or claims from The Recycling Partnership and How2Recycle.<\/p>\n<p>This kind of greenwashing has real consequences for people in the global south. Misleading the public about the recyclability of throwaway plastic packaging means that more of our waste will be exported to poor countries. It also deflects attention from real solutions to the plastic pollution crisis. We have to phase out single-use plastic, and invest in reuse, refill, and package-free approaches.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/research\/report-circular-claims-fall-flat\/\">2020 Circular Claims Fall Flat<\/a> report, Greenpeace USA detailed the US Federal Trade Commission\u2019s requirements for recyclable labels in the US and how polypropylene does not come close to meeting the requirements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">###<\/p>\n<p><strong>Greenpeace USA <\/strong>is part of a global network of independent campaigning organizations that use peaceful protest and creative communication to expose global environmental problems and promote solutions that are essential to a green and peaceful future. Greenpeace USA is committed to transforming the country\u2019s unjust social, environmental, and economic systems from the ground up to address the climate crisis, advance racial justice, and build an economy that puts people first.
