Recycling doesn't work, but liberals don't care. They're about making themselves feel like they're contributing. They don't care if their contribution is totally symbolic.
The solution is the development of easily degradable plastic. The problem to overcome is how to stop biodegradable plastic containers from biodegrading on the supermarket shelf.
Going back to glass is another possible solution. No joke, liberals recently were pushing the idea that there is a sand shortage.

You’d probably need a 2-component process, like binary explosives that are stable until two elements are mixed together. Normally the plastic is nonbiodegradeable, but if you spray it with some agent, it starts degrading.
Or we can just burn it and generate power with it.
I do not suggest engineering bacteria to eat plastic, because that is just the beginning of a dystopian science fiction story.

Also, we should be using less single-use plastic. We spew out too much garbage.
