    i mean here in sweden we do regulate producers to be responsible for their products being recyclable, maybe the rest of the world should catch up?

    99% of packaging can be very very easily recycled at home, with it specifically saying which bin it goes in, and other products are brought to a recycling centre where you can just ask staff where it goes. Most electronics can be taken to the store that sold it and they’ll handle it for you.

    And individuals are legally required to recycle whatever they can, too. Not that it’s enforced obviously, but technically you aren’t allowed to just toss things in the general trash if it can be recycled.
