It's not about entropy, it's about greenhouse gasses and the energy required to recycle as opposed to using new raw materials. The transportation of goods to be recycled and the energy used in the recycling process are at least equivalent to the energy used in mining and making aluminum cans and/or cutting down trees and turning them into paper. Generally the only net advantage to recycling is reducing the space needed in landfills and leaving more areas in their natural state.

I agree, I have reviewed a lot of research on this subject. If everything they say is true, it is more harmful for the environment for us to recycle.

Well recycling allows us to reuse materials whereas if we didn't we would continue to waste limited resources and our dumps would just get bigger.
