I suppose its worth pointing out that recycling of household waste is more about waste management. Increasingly now refuse is being incinerated rather than landfilled. As pointed out, more energy is probably expended washing out gooey food containers than is saved by selling the recycled plastic which has little resale value. The problem with recycling is that you usually end up with too much.
True - how often do you see anything that says 'made from recycled materials'? Very rare in my experience. What's the point in all this recycling if we don't seem to be actually reusing it?
I met a bloke at a party who worked at a recycling plant and he said they had far too much paper to handle already - and this was 10 years ago.
