>>512209484they're worthless to recyclers too. they arent really reusable, which is why almost all the material ends up in a landfill. and theyre way cheaper than 25 cents to produce. theyre like one cent to produce. presumably some bottle manufacturers are producing virgin plastic bottles and redeeming them for "recycling" for a huge profit, much more than the two cents per bottle that they sell them to the drink companies for.
anyway, dont burn plastic bottles--the fumes are ruining your air and depositing toxic residue on your soil.
also, german taxpayers are getting wrecked because theyre the ones paying 25 cents for every worthless bottle that some bum or shitskin is turning in to be "recycled".
