I know, what I’m saying is no glass bottle is explicitly non recyclable there’s just a lack of ability to recycle in the us for whatever dumb business monster reasoning.
Single-use bottles includes recyclable bottles. The point of single-use is that they’re discarded in some way by the consumer at the end of use, including discarded via recycling, not retained.
But as these bottles are largely single-use, many of them are discarded and dumped in the earth’s ecosystems, where they constitute a significant portion of all environmental waste.
They only counted recyclable bottles as single use if discarded anywhere but a recycling center assuming they may or may not be recycled so they assume it’s trash until it’s recycled or degraded.
But as these bottles are largely single-use, many of them are discarded and dumped in the earth’s ecosystems, where they constitute a significant portion of all environmental waste.
Let’s break it down.
“But as these bottles are largely single-use” - does not define ‘single-use’ but implies that the following statement is about single-use bottles
“many of them are discarded and dumped in the earth’s ecosystems, where they constitute a significant portion of all environmental waste.” - says that many of the aforementioned are dumped and constitute environmental waste.
That’s it. That’s the entirety of the quote you provided.
Where do you get that single-use is defined as only the unrecycled bottles from THAT?
Recycling is explicitly mentioned in the link.

They’re only single use if they aren’t recycled, the article states that as well.
… would you care to quote that, because I’m pretty sure it says otherwise.

That’s literally not what the quote says.
That’s exactly what it says.
