    Medical goods are a great example of a restricted case.

    I’m being sardonic about capitalist corpo-brain: Plastic bottles are practically recyclable! But the fact is many aren’t. We could recycle them but we would need both the facility and some virgin plastic to mix in. Facilities aren’t widely available and virgin plastic comes from oil. But since they’re practically recyclable they’re A-OK!
