Anything that is injection moulded (basically all plastic) can only have 1/3 of its pellets from recycled sources and it then can't be recycled again. At the very best assuming the industries claims of recycling were actually met (which they aren't) at most you would get 1.33x uses out of a piece of plastic, that is it. Its not recycleable, its almost just one use. I personally don't think there are too many issues with clean and reuse and indeed a lot of the shapes are standard and if we forced more standards we could probably reuse plastic 10+ times and vastly decrease our need for new plastic. That would require companies to make a cycle for their packaging however and they are really don't want to and so far no government has thought it might be a good idea to force them to.
