100%! You see a lot of reusing of resources when it suits the businesses. Shipping containers, pallets, kegs & gas bottles are all standardized and get recycled for many years. By recycled I mean the literal meaning before it got molested by corporate propaganda campaigns. I suspect if the manufacturers were forced to pay for the externalized costs of plastic junk they might start:

* making their own durable packaging to buy back.

* figure out how to standardize package shapes and centralize collection/washing.

* Stop overpackaging and over marketing the food. A lot of foods don't need to come in a shiny colorful plastic packet.
