They didn't really stop it, but they raised the quality standards to be so high that no post-consumer plastics qualify. Something like less than 5% contamination. They do still accept "clean" plastic, like from industrial manufacturing. Think custom molded part containers or similar. And before you start cleaning your recycling before binning it, that automatically uses enough water and energy to defeat the point of recycling.
