This is primarily a cultural issue.
Taiwanese children are taught from day one how to sort recyclables. It is standard not only to sort properly, but also wash containers and decompose them into parts if they are made up of different materials.
Not only that but due to Japanese influence, reuse is a huge part of the culture already.
There's even a completely different conversation about how children are taught how to fold their trash and stack containers to minimize space use in trash.
Weird how if we take advantage of the neural nets we are born with what we can do...
