Quite. Recycling was supposed to catch the little we couldn't reuse. When recycling points first started cropping up it was still common to return glass bottles for refill, and get a deposit back. As recycling has grown, reuse has almost completely died out, and one time plastic has replaced most of those former deposit-return items.
