Not long. That's why we recycle. Part of that is these stupid hinges.

I don't like them, but we need them.

Plastic recycling is a scam mate. Most of the plastic things you throw out are gonna get burned or end up somewhere for ever.

They even made the little symbols look like a recycling sign, so you can feel good about yourself at the store.

Dont believe me?

Ah yes, a YouTube video.

Hope you ever find yourself in Western Europe, where we actually do recycle.
