I’m really confused about the meaning of otherwise in this sentence. From my understanding, otherwise is used to express what would happen on the contrary. However, in this context, the clause following otherwise conveys the same idea of the previous sentence.
So, what does otherwise mean in this context?
Recycling has been relentlessly promoted as a goal in and of itself: a public and private virtue that is indoctrinated in students from kindergarten through university. As a result, otherwise well-informed and educated people have no idea of the relative costs and benefits.

This is an adverbial 'otherwise.'
conjunction You already know about 'otherwise' (=if not) starting a new phrase:
We must get the money, otherwise we can't stay.
adverb Otherwise (= in a different way) can modify verbs and adjectives and other adverbs:
We hoped we were going shopping. She thought otherwise.(differently)
Otherwise well-informed people (In other respects well-informed) have prejudices too.
