    this is far to complicated a matter for governments to solve. we should form a working group to explore the issue and make some recommendations. in the mean time its best if people continue to mulch pooly labled plastic so as not to impact any suppliers profits. We all know the cause of this polution problem is the greens party. /s remember the names of the people who do not act in our interests.

    Not the issue here, but I think equally relatable is when you get a bag of some kind that says it’s recyclable and it’s covered in stickers that you can’t peel off. Or, when you’ve got something composed of multiple plastic types, and only one type is recyclable, and there is no way way to separate them.

    If the final product can’t reasonably be recycled then it doesn’t really matter if the components it’s made of can/could be recycled.
