Yes. Two of the many environmental concerns these days are the amount of waste going into landfills, and the production of greenhouse gases. These two concerns are related. For landfills add to the presence of greenhouse gases. The kind of decomposition that takes place in landfills is called anaerobic. The reason that it's so called is the lack of oxygen. And oxygen-starved decomposition leads to the production of methane, which is one of the greenhouse gases. So businesses and individuals can help fight this double-edged problem by putting into practice a popular contemporary slogan: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Restore. Increasing the amount of curbside recyclables, and decreasing the amount of curbside trash pick-up, would apply all four pillars in one fell swoop. For recyclable products reuse resources, and restore balance to that threshold where wilderness and urbanization interface by reducing resource exhaustion.

Are the packaging and retail industries by not providing easy kerbside recyclable packaging also supplying products not fit for contemporary purposes?
Yes. A contemporary slogan has four pillars of support: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Restore. The pillars can be applied in all sorts of environmentally friendly ways. For example, their practice reduces the amount of materials going into landfills. But problematic packaging that can't be recycled increases the waste stream, the speed with which landfills take over the allotted space, and the number of landfills that communities go through. In addition, it increases the production of greenhouse gases, because anaerobic decomposition of materials produces methane. Methane is a common greenhouse gas that results when materials break down in oxygen-starved environments such as landfills.

Why is it difficult to recycle plastics?
All plastic can be recycled, but it may not be easily recyclable where you live. It is difficult because:# Plastics have to be separated into different kinds. This is time consuming and labor intensive as, up till now, it has to be done by hand. # If a mixture of plastics is recycled together they either contaminate the melt or you get a lower grade of plastic than the originals. This is called 'downcycling'. # Plastics need much more energy to recycle than paper, glass or metals. # Some plastics can be recycled into higher quality plastics, but this uses extra energy. This is called 'upcycling'. # For these reasons if your local authority has kerbside collections, it may not collect all seven types of plastic. The Resin ID Number on the base of a plastic bottle tells what kind of plastic it is. The triangle with the chasing arrows does NOT mean you can recycle it. It identifies the kind of plastic used.See the related question below.
