Well, one of the big risks of plastics are the hormonal effects which are still little understood. There are serious reasons to remove most plastics from our day-to-day lives which makes reclaiming/recycling existing plastics less desirable - we should be removing them.

This is true. Just about everyone's pee has measurable BPA.. even AFTER we removed the BPA everywhere...
I was under the impression that phalates only linger in the body for a short while? Also - we definitely have not eliminated the use of BPA “everywhere”.
