Recycling tends to be a virtue signal:
- most plastics aren't accepted in recycling programs
- straws specifically are excluded from most automated sorting facilities due to formfactor
- most "recycling programs" end up throwing away more than they recycle, esp now that China stopped importing our trash
- the few who put in the effort to properly recycle what actually can be recycled (not much) don't make up for the masses who just throw it where it ends up as pollution
- recycling (esp virtue-recycling) actually increases micro plastic infiltration
