Why recycled plastic is not the solution

solution - Recycled Plastic, Thröl Haartkor – La mascarade des déchets

Because we’ve never sold more recycled plastic… than under the label “GREEN.”

Purpose: To deconstruct, with a scalpel dipped in irony, five pseudo-sustainable impostures.


We all want to do better. Consume better. Choose better. Respect better.
But that “better”? They stole it. Rebranded it.
Sliced it, diced it, sold it back in pieces

The result?
“Solutions” that soothe your conscience… While torching everything else just the same.

Let’s break it down. Point by point.Three bullets locked and loaded, every time.


1️⃣ RECYCLED PLASTIC WINE CORK:

Recycled doesn’t mean sustainable. A plastic cork is still a plastic cork, no matter where it came from. Second life? Same impact. Third? Straight to the bin.

Cork, on the other hand, captures CO₂. Renewable, biodegradable, compostable. A real solution, discreet, effective. No need for a “revolution”.
Plastic ruins the taste, winemakers know it, sommeliers too. Recycled plastic or not: it smells like Tupperware.

But shhh… it “innovates”.

Bravo, “innovators”: you’ve invented wine that tastes like plastic.


2️⃣ COMPOSTABLE COFFEE PODS:

Compostable ≠ home compost.

These capsules break down at 60°C, in industrial facilities – not in your worm bin, not in your green bin, not in your actual life.

And on top of that, they cost 20 to 30% more than regular ones. We’re paying for an environmental benefit… that doesn’t exist. Posh, isn’t it?

Meanwhile, drip coffee just keeps doing the job: no packaging, no waste, no bullshit storytelling. So naturally, it doesn’t sell.


3️⃣ DISPOSABLE CUTLERY MADE OF BIOPLASTIC:

“Bio” isn’t a free pass. Bioplastic or not, it’s still plastic. This is just a rebrand. These materials release microplastics – invisible, but very real. That’s progress, right? In fine-particle form.

Washable cutlery? Already exists.
Shocking, right?

No need for an injection-molded “concept” – just because washing a fork is too hard, apparently.


4️⃣ PAPER CUPS WITH PLASTIC LINING:

Recyclable… on paper.

The lining jams the process – in 90% of cases, it ends up buried or burned.
These cups release chemicals: glues, plasticizers, inks – basically, a magic potion for our water systems.

Takeaway coffee isn’t a human right. It’s the illusion that we can consume anywhere, anytime.
Zero effort. Zero guilt. Zero thought.


5️⃣ BIODEGRADABLE WIPES:

Biodegradable… under what conditions? Not in nature, not in your pipes, and definitely not within the timelines they promise.

Virtue, vacuum-sealed. A disposable dressed in borrowed virtue.
Clean? Really? The cult of constant cleanliness destroys everything.

Will disposables wash the world clean? No – But they’ll wipe a little more dirt across our conscience.


Bio-based doesn’t mean biodegradable.

The favorite storyline of recent years: “plant-based plastic, so it must be harmless.”

But whether it’s made from corn or crude, a polymer is still a polymer.
They linger. They pollute.

They clog up the system…
Specialized waste streams are rare, expensive, and hard to access.
And without clear traceability, bio-based plastics just add complexity — and delusion — to a waste system already on the brink.

Conclusion:
Simple solutions? They exist. But they don’t stroke our laziness.
So instead, we’re sold one-shot tech: packaged, labeled “Green,” ready to use… and ready to wreck.

A well-wrapped absurdity… is still an absurdity.
Keep sprinkling “bio” on single-use crap, and you’ll end up with Premium-grade bullshit.

Thröl Haartkor V2 — Polite, sure. But built to kill the illusion, line by line.
