Plastic Wars, a joint investigation from FRONTLINE and NPR, reveals how plastic makers for decades have publicly promoted recycling, despite from almost the beginning privately expressing doubts that widespread plastic recycling would ever be economically viable. Facing public calls to reduce plastic consumption and ban some single-use plastics in recent years, the industry is once again promoting recycling.
