scientificamerican.com— The most recycled product? It's not aluminum cans: only half are recycled. Or even office paper, at more than 70 percent.

It you were to refine that to steel from cars then you would likely be right. They did define car batteries while batteries such as from toys and watches certainly aren't recycled very often.
we seriously need deposits on all our water bottles....... i dont understand why it hasnt happened already...... you would see less and less of them on the sides of the roads.... and in the landfills...... i know some states already do this... but i think it should be mandatory for all states to have the deposit method.... it encourages recycling.........
Because there is a serious core charge/refund/deposit/whatever on batteries.If there was a $1 deposit per plastic bottle, instead of a lousy $.05, you'd damn sure as hell return them, too.5 cents, what's five cents? That's not an incentive to bring back a bottle, that's a tax.Even if you were too lazy to bring it back for a buck, there would be plenty of others happy to gather up your empties and turn them in for a quick and tidy profit.
just being the devil's advocate. Recycling is something that is generally well accepted as depicted in Bulls**t. Hell, I'm still recycling, but it seems a lot of money is wasted on it. Of course, the real answer is reduction. The answer was never recycling.at least we'll always have that garbage pile to mine for broken resources.

They're basing this article on percentage. There are more cans recycled but a lower percentage. A reason to read the article.
