Recycled plastic concentrates phthalates and other toxins. The best place for plastic is modern landfill.

You can also burn it for energy, this is what Sweden (and probably our neighbors) do. Yet we're at 0.7x global average CO2 per capita.

Do more with the shit you have is a good idea, this bike isn't.
That looks like HDPE, which normally requires no plasticisers. Better learn some chemistry before spouting hysterical nonsense.
Plasticised PVC, which is where phthalates are used, is not suitable for structural applications like this.
Edit: care to refute? Or do you just want to parrot ignorant talking points without thought.
Idk about the chemical thing but yeah, throw plastic away.
Recycling plastic is just greenwashing to get more people to use more plastic.
Throw plastic in the trash where it belongs. That's where it's gonna wind up anyway. At least this way you know where it's going instead of thinking it's going off to be magically recycled into magic pixie dust that saves the planet.
