People generally have a poor understanding of what is and is lot recyclable in their own waste collection areas. I don’t know what kind of plastic or polymers are in each product. Only the manufacturer has the knowledge, capital and power to choose more environmentally supportive materials. They’d be more likely to actually do it if they had to process them afterwards.

And that’s the job of the government, imo. Regulate the shit out of the free market, force the manufacturers to not use the worst things possible
