Sorting at the consumer level isn't even the real problem. It's the fact that most plastic isn't even recyclable and of the kinds that are, there's no guarantee that your town has the facilities to recycle those. The whole system is broken and never actually worked.
Remember in the 90s when everyone switched to plastic bags to save the trees or some bullshit? The manufacturers / oil companies knew that plastic recycling didn’t work and they pushed it so hard anyways.
