We have been recycling for decades, yet only 9% of the world's plastic has ever been successfully recycled.

In this episode, we ask ourselves the heretical question, "is plastic recycling actually worth it?"

• A brief history of plastic usage • How much plastic do we really use? • The uses (and advantages) of plastic • Plastic's advantages in food production • Plastic's usage in medicine • Plastic as a way to reduce energy usage? • The durability of plastic • The problem of what to do with plastic after we have finished using it • What proportion of the world actually recycles? • The environmental "cost" of recycling • Plastic vs. cotton bags: the numbers • Recycling + reducing + reusing • Simple acts to reduce plastic usage • Technological developments with recycling
