Since it's inception, recycling has always been a scam. With the exception of aluminum, all recycled products require more energy to be "recycled" than to be made fresh. Nonetheless, governments and environmentalists have profited off such schemes as recycling plants serve as both a handout to politically connected corporations and a jobs scheme for opportunist politicians.
