Yes it is almost I mpossible. I suspect that many don’t realize how labor intensive it is at the recycling station where employees are tasked with monitoring the recycled materials as it moves on a conveyor belt and to spot any non recyclable and remove. Paper products not suitable are blown away by fans but still labor intensive.
