For most materials in existence recycling is (currently) only driven by idealism. When using new resources is cheaper than re-using old ones there simply is no economic incentive.
And every purchase of a product made from materials that can’t be recycled at all might as well be a voting ballot stating “I’d rather buy cheap than sustainable”.
