The cost of recycling (soup to nuts, collection, cleaning, sorting) should be built into the costs of using this stuff. Plastic is only used in a really wasteful/damaging way because the costs are externalized, making it the cheapest option. If manufacturers had to pay the real cost, they would quickly start packaging their products in alternative manners because they are cost effective. Cleanup should probably also be included
