This is also an interesting point. I remember reading a few years ago that some types of plastic are simply tossed out at the recycling centre because they're not cost effective. Eventually the price of new plastic will raise and this will change.
At the same time, separating my recycling from my garbage is such a low-cost activity that I have no problem doing it.
