Wish there were separate landfills for these recyclables that aren't being recycled so that in the future they can be dealt with in a more proper manner. This can either be the ideal recycling we all imagine when we put a bottle in the bin, or it could be further advanced plastic decomposing microbes and worms.

How about allowing only plastic that can be recycled and banning everything else? This is also going to open a market for companies that create ways to recycle unappealing plastic types (but beware for shady companies that pretend to recycle and actually dump.)

This would be ideal but unfortunately laws are written by corporations that profit from plastic.
