    It would be greater than 100% At a certain point plastics break apart too much to be remoulded again. At that point they are waste to energy, which in my mind is the final form of recycling.

    If we want to continue to use plastics, we will need to continue to make virgin plastics. But we also need to environmentally dispose/ use the waste plastics.
