I don't think companies should be able to use the recycling symbol unless they can ensure that the majority of what they produce gets recycled.

And in California, state law is expected to restrict the chasing arrows for most packaging made of plastic, unless there’s evidence that the plastic is widely collected and turned into new products within the state.

Thankfully, California agrees.
