You have to remove the plastic label if you want to recycle this plastic bottle.

I think they used to wax the cardboard. Maybe they still do?

Depending on the type of wax used, it could be better, or it could be the same as plastic.

Wax or plastic coated paper is still going to use less plastic then a whole plastic judge. Don't make perfect the enemy of better.

That said, it’s probably less plastic

Did you miss me saying that?
