Recycling, good. Landfill, bad. Right? Not exactly.

The reality is a little more complicated. Only 10-20% of what we're putting into the recycling bin is actually getting recycled. And the products we buy that claim they have recycled content often has similarly low numbers.

In this episode of Supposedly, Xander and Dan explain how recycling fits into the status quo of a cradle-to-grave waste stream. They talk about how material sourcing, product design, and more can help make products more recyclable. And they share what manufacturers, designers, engineers, and consumers like you can do to help eliminate recycling altogether - all for the good of our planet.
