The article makes other points, such as that using plastic is more environmentally friendly most of the time (I am not convinced they use a broad enough definition though, as they only consider transport fuel usage and energy costs of creating glass or cardboard), and that recycling plastics is possible and valid an we have the technology to do this well but we just, well, don't do it well.
