Assumption in Recycling Argument

A company dedicated to environmental sustainability recently announced, "If we recycle more plastic, we will significantly reduce ocean pollution." Many environmentalists support this initiative, arguing that recycling plastic not only conserves resources but also prevents waste from entering the oceans.

However, opponents of the initiative claim that recycling alone will not solve the ocean pollution problem because not all plastic can be recycled, and a substantial amount still ends up in landfills or waterways.
