Most trash that is “recycled” is put into a landfill with no processing.
I wouldn’t say most trash, just most plastics. Glass and especially cardboard and aluminum are able to be recycled almost endlessly and are more efficient to recycle than their original production cost.
They are able to, that doesn’t mean they are. I cannot find any data on residential recycling rates, and I have to assume, given the track record, that capitalist countries are doing the most wasteful thing that is the worst for the environment.
