I often say this, but the whole focus on "recycling" is on its own a big red herring. There are three R's, and they should be applied in order: reduce, reuse, recycle. But of course the industry "conveniently" forgets the first two, as they reduce consumption.
And this shit needs to be legislated across the world; there's no such thing as "let the customers choose lol" when customers have no options. Starting by spurious usage, where glass and others make a viable alternative.
The whole thing is also an example of "ackshyually" being weaponised - "achshyually plastic is recyclable lmao" is technically correct but as the video shows, in practice, it won't.
