Given that most recycling ends up in landfills anyway, I’m not sure it matters much. We have a much bigger recycling problem.

It matters because these problems feed into each other.

If a tonne of recycling is not financially viable because the Pringles cans are too difficult to extract, then none of it gets recycled.
