That headline lumps together very different materials. The famous low figure (around 5–6% in the US) averages everything, including films, pouches and mixed plastics that were never realistically recyclable. Look at clear PET bottles and HDPE jugs instead and you find real markets: they get turned into new bottles, fibre and containers, usually with a smaller energy footprint than virgin plastic. Where countries design for it, it works. Germany and Norway's bottle deposit schemes recover well over 90% of bottles. So what fails is weak policy, with no deposits and no producer responsibility, rather than recycling itself. Calling it "theater" lets producers off the hook and teaches people to stop sorting the streams that actually work.

There can also be like a pet Twonk character you have to feed or take care of everyday & every 50 days (for example) of consistent care (logging in, posting etc.) gets you a chance to unlock a random twonk or sats or something
What if Twetch let users mine POW-20 tokens just by being active on the platform or keeping it open? Those tokens could then be used for Twetch Green or whatever other utilities you guys can come up with.
I believe plastic recycling is very important and our job as consumers is to participate in it and there must be some way to control that the work is done properly until the complete recycling. Also consumers should prioritize products made with recycled plastic in this way we could incentivize it.
Now that you get it,
can you please explain it to me?
What if everyone can generate a twonk avatar (frog, fox, apu, etc…) and every day they post something they get access to a new feature (like a new hat or a shirt etc…)
