That's funny because over here in Australia it looks to be progressing well?
For us it's a yellow bin for recycling

Most Australian states have a 10c refund when you return a can or bottle:
https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/circular-economy-waste-reduction/reduction/container-refund/container-refund-types
Do you have this?
You can even then directly donate it to a charity of your choice: https://www.containersforchange.com.au/qld/donate-your-refund
On top of this if you use https://oceanhero.today/ for searching the money they make from ads goes towards paying people in poor countries to collect plastic
Australia wide we're slowly phasing out single use plastics:
https://www.marineconservation.org.au/which-australian-states-are-banning-single-use-plastics/
That's already reducing the amount of plastic by millions of tons
There's also smaller things like:

Sounds like defeatist mentality to me, your councils/states should be doing better
Canada's west coast is the same. Despite some reports implying the contrary, properly sorted flexible plastic waste does get diverted away from landfills and oceans and remade into product, in BC. And we also have bottle and can deposits, like most Canadian provinces (called consigne/consignment in Québec).
Apparently bottle deposits are only a thing in 10 of 50 US states.
Metal is way easier to recycle than plastic tbf
Bread tags? What do they do instead? The only choices Ive seen are a stupid plastic tile or a wire, and I can’t imagine single use wire is better than a stupid single use plastic tile
cardboard :D
https://playandgo.com.au/australias-first-100-recycled-recyclable-cardboard-bread-tags-tip-top/
afaik they're all cardboard now even other brands, I don't think I've seen a plastic one in a while
Neat. Do they work, or do they just bend the first time you recluse a bag?
ngl no idea, even with plastic ones i threw them out on first go and just fold the bag under the bread :|
Wait until they discover that some brands have both an outer bag and inner bag to stay fresh longer
