Comment on U.S. plastic recycling rate drops to close to 5%parent

Must be a misunderstanding or different definition of recycling.

Each time plastic is recycled it degrades and becomes less fit for the original use. At some point the degradation is so large that the degraded plastic must be replaced with newly produced plastic. 100% recycling of plastic is not possible.
