That’s right folks! Costco, for whatever reason changed the tortilla strip chip bag from a perfectly recyclable bag to this piece of shit bag that you can’t recycle.

You still can recycle plastic, therefore point made by the OP is false.
technically true. but some plastic products cost too much to recycle so they go into landfill.
also some recycled plastics can’t be recycled again because it’s “impossible” to know what percentages of what other plastics were used in the final product. again, too costly to recycle.
these are all primary examples of why using plastic as a packaging product are based entirely on marketing and manufacturing cost over environmental impacts.
truth of the matter is, natural fibers like cotton and wood pulp(paper) plus biodegradable sealants like wax, vegetable oil, shellacs, etc are far better for the environment than any amount of “recyclable” plastic.
You’re right: plastic is just as recyclable now as it was before.
Which is to say, it continues to largely fail to be recyclable.
I think this was a joke
