I thought it had more to do with the fact that plastic recycling is largely a scam - i.e., recycling logos are printed on nearly all plastics, less than half of which are actually recyclable. Yet, there's been no crackdown on such brazen fraud. I'm sure the assumption by most is that's due to lobbying.

Recycled plastic are used heavily in things that people touch and need a lot of chonk to them relative to their strength to feel substantial and high quality or stuff that'll almost purely be loaded in compression (like bolt on plastic pads that prevent metal to metal contact or allow nice sliding).
