    So, morally, we explore them to. But it’s not their job. A companies job is to drive the maximum amount of value to shareholders possible. That’s the horrific hellscape we have.

    This combined with consumer choice being at an all time low thanks to no one having any money for choice, means that unless there are actual legally bound requirements for recycling, no one is going to do it. Especially if it cuts profits.

      Not the intention of my comment, I meant: moaning that something you create is bad for the environment is ridiculous, they can make it not bad for the environment then they can’t complain… about themselves. If they truly cared about sustainability they could implement far better policies.

      You’re right, it has to be legally enforced, yet that won’t happen while the Sustainable Development Goals are too loosely defined and barely enacted.
