So the best solution is to recycle everything, but make it biodegradable so that when it can no longer be recycle, it can be safely (and usefully) disposed of. Granted, this would require you (or the recycling plant) to know (either by labeling or otherwise) how degraded materials they receive are, and to sort them accordingly.
