You're supposed to wash things, but they're washed again at the recycling plant because few people do it sufficiently thoroughly.

Oh, I wasn't aware. Two follow-ups then:

(1) Is it actually worth the water? Especially in somewhere with a water crisis, like (say) California?

(2) Can they actually wash these though? On a large scale, how could they possibly wash plastic wrappers that can cling to themselves so as to remove all the grease?
