Recycled the eye-breaking arrow symbol.

"The Plastic Waste Theory: When Recycling is the PR of Major Companies."

This is the smoothest break in 50 years because it turns the sin of the manufacturer into the duty of the consumer like us.

1. The beginning of the eye break (The Big Lie)

Back in the 1970s and 1980s, petrochemical and packaging giants faced a serious problem: people became so worried about plastic waste overflowing that they wanted the state to ban it.

Strategy: Instead of giving up plastic production, they chose to do a "Recycling" campaign.

They created the "Mobius Loop" symbol and pumped it on all kinds of plastic to make us feel good that this plastic would not destroy the world if we separated the garbage.

2. The Hidden Data

Most plastics in the world are "not really recyclable," or if they can, are so costly that they are not economically cost-effective.

Plastic No. 3-7: Almost nobody recycles it, but the arrow symbol that opens our eyes makes us believe it's recyclable.

Alarming numbers: Since plastic was invented, only about 9% has really been recycled; the rest is burned or landfilled.

3. Shifting the Blame

This is the most burning part of this theory: the "Crying Indian" campaign, or an advertisement that shows people crying because of garbage.

The result: Society aimed at insulting "people who litter is no place," instead questioning "companies that make millions of tons of plastic."

Hypnosis: We were taught to separate garbage, wash plastic bottles before throwing them to reduce guilt, but finally, the garbage we washed well went to the garbage well.

It's "Mu-keting" in the environmental version.

It doesn't sell good luck, but it sells "comfort."

It is the creation of content that makes people feel "good," just separating the garbage, and the structure behind it is uncontrollable.

These eye-breaking theories all work the same way: "create concern" and "give us a fake solution" that looks good, so that we bow down to pay or continue to follow the same structure without suspicion.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวที่ผมได้ลองศึกษาและติดตามเรื่องการรีไซเคิลพลาสติกมากขึ้น ผมพบว่าหลายครั้งที่สัญลักษณ์ลูกศร 3 ตัวหมุนวนบนบรรจุภัณฑ์ ทำให้ผู้บริโภครู้สึกว่าพลาสติกเหล่านั้นสามารถนำกลับมาใช้ใหม่ได้โดยง่าย แต่ในความเป็นจริงแล้ว การรีไซเคิลนั้นมีข้อจำกัดมากมายที่ไม่ค่อยมีใครพูดถึง เรื่องแรกคือ พลาสติกแต่ละชนิดมีคุณสมบัติทางเคมี ที่ไม่สามารถผสมรวมกันได้หมด เช่น พลาสติกประเภทหมายเลข 3-7 ที่แทบจะไม่มีการรีไซเคิลในเชิงพาณิชย์ เพราะเทคโนโลยีและต้นทุนสูงมากเกินกว่าค่าที่จะคืนกลับมาได้จริง สิ่งที่ผมตระหนักได้จากการอ่านและลองสังเกตคือ การที่บริษัทใหญ่ใช้แคมเปญรีไซเคิลเป็นเครื่องมือทำ PR หรือที่เรียกว่า Greenwashing เพื่อลดความกดดันจากการผลิตพลาสติกจำนวนมากที่ล้นโลก แทนที่จะเลิกหรือเปลี่ยนไปใช้วัสดุที่ย่อยสลายง่ายกว่า หรือมีกระบวนการผลิตที่ยั่งยืนกว่า นอกจากนี้ การโอนความผิดจากผู้ผลิตมาให้ผู้บริโภคผ่านข้อความเช่น "ช่วยกันแยกขยะ" หรือโฆษณาที่สะเทือนอารมณ์ เช่น Crying Indian เป็นต้น กลายเป็นการสะกดจิตให้คนเราทำตามโดยไม่ตั้งคำถามรากลึกของปัญหา สิ่งนี้ทำให้ระบบเดิมของการผลิตพลาสติกยังคงดำเนินต่อไปได้อย่างไม่ถูกตรวจสอบจริงจัง จากเหตุการณ์และข้อมูลที่ผมเรียนรู้เพิ่มเติม ข้อแนะนำสำหรับผู้บริโภคคือ อย่าหลงเชื่อสัญลักษณ์รีไซเคิลเพียงอย่างเดียว ควรศึกษาข้อมูลเพิ่มเติมว่าพลาสติกชิ้นนั้น ๆ สามารถรีไซเคิลได้จริงหรือไม่ และสำคัญที่สุดคือพยายามลดการใช้พลาสติกแบบใช้ครั้งเดียวทิ้ง เช่น ใช้ถุงผ้าแทนถุงพลาสติก หรือใช้บรรจุภัณฑ์ที่เป็นมิตรกับสิ่งแวดล้อม สรุปแล้ว การเข้าใจปัญหาเชิงลึกเกี่ยวกับการรีไซเคิลและกลยุทธ์การตลาดที่อยู่เบื้องหลัง จะช่วยให้เราสามารถตัดสินใจได้อย่างมีสติ และร่วมกันสร้างสังคมที่ยั่งยืนจริง ๆ มากกว่าการแค่สร้างความสบายใจชั่วคราวในฐานะผู้บริโภคเท่านั้น
