I think GJenge has the right approach on mixed plastic recycling (the category that seems to have the best chance of getting the biggest volumes of recycling).

Varieties of brick varying in size and shape have very good potential for use in automated road repair systems, which patch potholes in roads by cutting out around pothole, and then filling the cavity.

Until packaging services start sharing some recycling burden, or get rated and taxed on how recycling friendly their recyclables are, low grade mixed plastics seem like they will be and remain the bulk.
