Hard-to-recycle plastics numbered 3 through 6 rarely get processed into new products because recycling infrastructure doesn't exist for them. A fashion designer shows how these discarded plastics can be turned into wearable clothing instead.

A lot of plastics are recyclable, but it's the lack of those solutions and technologies out there to handle all of the different types. So typically, I mean, in places that have recycling infrastructure, like the number 1s and number 2s might be being turned into a new product. But yeah, the further you go up in the numbers, 3, 4, 5, 6, and beyond, it just— there are just less solutions out there.
