i feel like corporations pat themselves on the back for making their packaging and stuff hypothetically recyclable even if there isn't infrastructure in most places for people to actually recycle it and it's just shifting blame onto consumers i think

Early in the pandemic we ordered a produce box. Here's a paraphrase of the actual chat conversation I had with them after we received the box:
Me - Hello. Your service says all of the packaging is recyclable, but our local recycling center wouldn't take it. Do you happen to know of anywhere we could take it, or do you have a list of places that take it?
Them - No, but it's possibly recyclable.
Me - You said "possibly." Can you recycle it where you are?
Them - No.
Me - Do you know of anywhere, at all, that will actually take this packaging, anywhere in the country?
Them - No, but it could theoretically be recycled.
