The City of Toronto is now accepting Type 6 plastics (polystyrene) at some city drop-off depots. According to the city, the reason they were not previously accepting Type 6 is that the only recycler of this type of plastic had closed its doors. However, the Canadian Polystyrene Recycling Alliance (CPRA) is now accepting this material. Reference: http://www.toronto.ca/garbage/index.htm

It is estimated that only 6% of plastic water bottles are actually recycled instead of being put in landfills. In 2012 a census found that 33.6 million plastic water bottles ended up in landfills and 2 million were recycled.
As of recent estimates, approximately 9% of the plastic produced globally has been recycled, translating to around 6 million metric tons of recycled plastic being used each year. However, this number can vary based on advancements in recycling technologies and increases in recycling rates. The growing emphasis on sustainability and circular economy practices is driving efforts to boost the amount of recycled plastic incorporated into new products. Overall, the recycling of plastic remains a critical but underutilized component of addressing plastic waste.
