Recycling is just shipping it to Asia and they just lump ship it so even if you separate it doesn’t matter.
A lot of non-recyclable plastics get lumped in and it’s more of a landfill than recycling.
Not to say we shouldn’t recycle but that we shouldn’t use plastics.
Plastic recycling really sucks, but paper recycling is usually a net positive and compost is such a no brainer I'm always shocked it isn't everywhere.
