? If plastic isn't used, it doesn't need to be recycled.
I don't see what's "bunk" about banning plastic straws from commercial sales either, just because they don't comprise the majority of the Pacific garbage patch, or the estimate of their numbers being disposed of every year is quite inaccurate. They're still responsible for a lot of waste and pollution.
Single use plastics are not here to stay, I would hazard to say.
