Does recycling work?

It's complicated, according to sustainability experts. The biggest challenge with recycling materials is purity. If an item in a bin of recyclable materials is greasy, covered in food or, in the case of paper goods, soaking wet, the entire bin is typically rejected and sent to the landfill or incinerated. What and how to recycle is confusing! While we want to do the right thing, most of us don’t know all the rules. Can you recycled that greasy pizza box? (No.) Plastic bottle caps? (It depends on the municipality.) Cereal boxes? (It depends.) The list of questions goes on… And many times it’s difficult to find the correct answer.
