Glass and Aluminum are the ultimate recyclables and yet we are still are based around them It's all about the profits for Corporations and the consumers that buy this trash.

Buy bar soap instead of body wash, etc.

I'm a guy and I love flowery scented body soap. If you smell good nobody cares what the actual scent is lol

No they aren't. They typically don't even get recycled unless they're both clean and dry which most people don't do.

Let's change that then. They are the best reusables we have and we don't even have a federal system in place for recycling it all. Just trash and consume more cheap plastics.

That's mostly true in America, where recycling usually is (like everything else) a for profit initiative.
