The level of damage this collapse has done to confidence in the recycling system is enormous.
Yeah, I was pretty amazed at the wide range of people who all had faith in Redcycle - including people who were otherwise hardcore no single use plastic types who bought as much as they could at bulk grocery stores. It feels like a once in a generation opportunity has been lost.

Agreed. Recycling put the responsibility on the consumer rather than the company’s producing single use plastics in the first place.
