My local council don’t even recycle glass and i lived here 10 years. last year they was meant to start and we was all gonna get a special bin just for glass as it cannot be put in the blue bin but covid has stoppped the rollout of the bins and now it’s this year. i will believe it when i see it..
Crazy really the oldest recyclable and they reject it all if you put glass in the blue bin for recycling and it then all goes to landfill or the incinerator.
As for the mining then it’s not really mining is it, it’s lithium extraction my bad they are two very different things.
