Why don't we just require everything to be made out of clear PET?
Like, seriously. Why are we allowing plastic companies to produce millions of pounds of barely recyclable crap?

You know what's even more recyclable? Glass.

Only around 25% of PET plastic is recycled anyway (In the USA), so I don't think that will help.
