Aluminum is 100% recyclable into whatever it was before.
I guess just don't have the same standards for what recyclable means or should mean.
IMHO plastics just go into a stupid microplastic generation pipeline grinding cycle.

PP, usually ready meal and microwave trays, at the moment can't use recycled material and still be certified for food contact. I think much of that goes into things like traffic cones and building materials.
