That's what it is. The effect is a bit complicated. Nowhere near 100% of what's in that in that bin is made into new plastic, only about 20% in the city where I live. But the near-100% has two additional effects: there's little other than plastic (and metal) in that bin and there's little plastic in the other bins. Both of those have practical benefits.

OK, thanks for the detailed explanation. So nowhere near 100% recycling, but a somewhat good outcome in recycling and sorting (which is good per se).

Thanks!
