Nothing the SV can do. It's a user problem, not a technical problem.

Go down your building. Look at people throwing trash. Do they bother to split paper, plastic or glass? Not at all. They'd throw anything into the closest trash.

Then build trash sorting robots. That's a technical problem. Or figure out how to pack things with less material.

The robot to sort plastics is fine. The problem is people keep feeding it with sand and cardboard.
