On HN, it doesn't count as a dupe if the previous post didn't get significant attention. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html. The reason is that we want good stories to get multiple chances at getting traction—otherwise the /newest page is too much of a lottery.

Recycling is forgive the pun …. Garbage.

The best place for plastic is landfill.

Plastic is an almost meaningless word (at least with metal you can point to part of the periodic table ... until you have to deal with stuff like silicon.)

The only shared property among plastic by definition is that it can be worked using some of the same processes. If you want to know anything else you have to pay attention to the particular material.

ABS is not recyclable, PLA is extremely recyclable etc.
