The war in Iran is making the cost of virgin plastic skyrocket, and that’s good news for recycled plastic.
But a Cincinnati expert says we can’t recycle our way out of the plastic pollution crisis.
And the Cincinnati Recycling & Reuse Hub is moving to process more of the plastic it accepts in-house to have more control over the recycling process and its impact on the environment.
On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss our ever-growing plastics problem, the impact of the war, and what local people and organizations are doing to try to make a difference.
Guests:
- Bob Gedert, author, Untangling Plastics: The Missing Link in Mitigating Climate Change
- Chad Planner, executive director, Cincinnati Recycling & Reuse Hub
