Instead of raging against. Perhaps consider solutions.

Example: In Japan, the plastic film label is perforated no glue is utilized. It is fairly easily removed.

More difficult simply tossing a bottle, sure.

Think for a moment instead of raging. 2500 variations does not mean 2500 different recycling rules. There are more than 2500 variations of your potential mate, that doesn't mean there's 2500 different ways to mate.

It is a consumer problem, consumers will have to deal with the results.
