Best Answer

When compared to extracting copper, gold, aluminum, steel, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, silver, palladium, cadmium, platinum, rhodium, uranium, polonium, chromium, tin, lead, zinc, Mercury, lithium, tantalum, and any of the other metals from digging it out of the ground to the finished metal, the difficulty and expense in recycling metals is incredibly small by comparison. The same is true for all recyclable materials.

No, plastic is. Metal can easily be resmelted, plastic however is harder to reuse

Recycled plastic is not harder to use. it is just that the current cost of recycled plastic is not too different from virgin plastic. That should change with elevated oil prices.
