Sure here are a few videos about specifically plastic. The us is the focus in most of them as it generates the most plastic overall, however the key issues mentioned affect the entire industry worldwide (which most of them mention) if you dig around other recycling studies you find lots of cardboard is contaminated before ever reaching the recycling center. I wasn't clear enough about the logos and stuff, it's not really the ink but the plastic based wax layer over it to keep it looking nice. The boxes that squeek when you let em slide out your hands

Thanks, i will look into these videos!

As for the cardboard, this is why cardboard used for pizza is not allowed to be put in cardboard bin because of the fats. But overal, thats not that much cardboard wasted ( at least in my household ).
