Mike Biddle, here espousing a highly mechanized, technology heavy solution to recycling plastics uses all of one line to summarily dismiss any of the work that waste pickers and small-scale recyclers do.

Of course, independent waste recyclers doesn't quite jive if you want to be selling large-scale recycling plants to governments like India's or China...
