Cardboard and paper, plastic and glass cost more to recycle than to produce anew.

Anyone who has been to Europe since the mania for recycling was imposed knows that cardboard and glossy paper is often recycled into some godawful toilet paper (hint, pack your own!).

That particular problem predates recycling. I traveled western Europe in 1963 and the toilet paper then was something akin to wax paper.
