You should read a lot about plastic recycling industry. More than 80% of all plastic made is non-recyclable..
But I agree that blaming the customers for this is avoiding the true responsibility of companies.
I think most people would be surprised at how little plastic gets recycled from consumer goods. And it is not the fault of the end user, but the companies that produce without reuse and design the plastic products.
