    Also, yeah that’s literally how recycling works… do you think they recycle the labels on glass bottles? no they burn them off to get the glass. Then they make a new bottle, then they put new labels on it. literally doing exactly what you’re saying “isn’t recycling”.

    Still, that’s not at all what happens when recycling concrete.

      Did you read what you just wrote? If they don’t recycle the labels, then… yeah, that’s not recycling.

      Cherry-picking which part gets recycled and which not, then calling it all “recycling”, is where the brainwashing comes into play.

      You may notice that in action on the web I linked, where they call “Recycling” whatever they want, but come up with a different name of “Circular economy” for… let’s see, “re-cycling”… where does that word come from, again?

      With concrete it’s even more egregious.
