It is not like those companies do their best to pollute the least amount possible.

No, they rather blame the consumer and tell us we need to recycle than cut into their own profits.

And recycling is important, but reusing and reducing are a lot more important. But those are parts corporations need to adhere to, so it is a lot less popular for some reason.
