This morning's post brought a book I had ordered (through Abebooks). It was wrapped in a black plastic bag.
On the bag was the encouraging information: "This bag is made from a minimum 30% post consumer waste plastic and can be recycled again if dispased of correctly."
But don't despair: there's a clue: more information at https://www.recyclenow.com/what-to-do-with-plastic-film. I muttered, naturally, because that's quite a lot to type, and it would be easy to make a mistake, but I copied it very carefully.
I got a 404, of course.
(The bag does have a triangle recycling symbol with a 4 in it, and the letters LDPE, which enabled me to search the website and find an assurance that I could take it to the supermarket with my other plastic bags. Good. But coldn't they just have said that?)
