Unless it is a LARGE, clean, never touched food item like a box the paper should probably actually just go in to the compost stream anyway... I would actually welcome a far more limited* (and to recyclable types) number of plastics allowed in packaging and requirements that they also cannot be fused to other materials. The numbers should be REQUIRED to be /raised/ or /impressed/ to a large degree and be VERY LARGE on the two dimensional face as well. A 'nearly legally blind' person should be able to still tell where the logo is and understand it's content. The plastics / glasses binning should also assume they /are/ getting dirty consumer content and use an 'industrial' boiling water pot to dislodge and release the food waste. Such a processing step is more practical as part of the post-consumer input filter.
