        Yes, for once taking the jobs humans don’t want.

          Well, they’re reducing the workload. 10% incorrectly sorted material is still an issue

            The accuracy rate will improve, sadly most of the developing word barely recycles anything.

              That’s not their fault, really. And to be fair, there are developed countries that recycle by shipping their trash to developing countries

      i wonder if we as humans can accrete enough plastic internally to be mistaken as recycling.

      Does it matter when these “recycling” companies don’t actually recycle most if any of the plastic?

        Nope. Not a wit. Sorted garbage is still garbage and won’t be recycled.
