Plastics which can't be reprocessed back into the same food-grade product can sometimes still be recycled into lower-grade plastic products! Mixing all the different colours and contaminants together isn't always a problem, [edit: if the goal is to reduce waste to landfill rather than reduce production of plastic]. For example, turning soft plastics (the worst of them all?) into fenceposts (which last forever unlike wooden ones). Plenty of other examples: https://www.recycling.kiwi.nz/partners https://www.recycling.kiwi.nz/partners
