We should only sell plastic items in states that can truly recycle them. If you sell your stuff in a type 5 container but the state only can handle type 1. Then GTFO.
Plastic is only used in a really wasteful/damaging way because the costs are externalized, making it the cheapest option.
If manufacturers had to pay the real cost, they would quickly start packaging their products in alternative manners because they are cost effective.
Cleanup should probably also be included
