#RightToRepair is part of a healthy #CircularEconomy

A great initiative by the Recycling Council of Ontario to enhance the circular economy by helping businesses and industries.

YAY!! #RightToRepair #TowardsZeroWaste #CircularEconomy

NPR tracked down almost a dozen projects the industry publicized starting in 1989. All of them shuttered or failed by the mid-1990s. Mobil's Massachusetts recycling facility lasted three years, for example. Amoco's project to recycle plastic in New York schools lasted two. Dow and Huntsman's highly publicized plan to recycle plastic in national parks made it to seven out of 419 parks before the companies cut funding. None of them was able to get past the economics: Making new plastic out of oil is cheaper and easier than making it out of plastic trash.

Here's why we shouldn't give up on reusables -- even if single-use plastics are trying to be the hero this pandemic is looking for.
