Rather ironically, recycling used to be the standard way of living - raw materials were so expensive that re-using them would have been second nature. The start of the disposable society is probably dated back to 1902 when Gillette introduced the disposable razor blade.

The recycling of plastics became popular back in the early 1980's when it became good money to recycle most used products. The amount of world plastic pollution became a concerning worry due to the highy volume of waste plastic and the long break down life of plastic.
