    100% is not realistic physically. You should phrase the question as a world where everything that’s possible to be recycled is recycled, and where it isn’t we go back to materials that are naturally recycled or reusable. Basically a world where plastics and other materials that are one-time use are banned. It’s a great topic, as we don’t remotely realize how much we throw away. The scale is huge. The change in what is affordable or possible would be huge too.

    We could do a lot better, and it would be impactful. Some things have to be disposable in our modern world though, at least with current technology. Just medical use alone is a big example.

        Then clearly we’re resisting “natural” progression, whatever that means. It’s definitely against the direction for economic growth, and that runs the world. Line go up.
