They never said that it's 90% recyclable. They said it can be recycled 'to an extent'. You're projecting.

The myth they are dog whistling is just that. You can see it repeated everywhere the topic comes up and where they tried to conflate it with breeding. The method of lying is called paltering.

In reality reprocessing has no significant impact other than leaking Cs, Kr and Tc everywhere, increasing the volume of waste so it's harderto handle and raising costs.
