It is just that the world is a little more complicated than that. "..make these things always recoverable" isn't all that hard, it is just that it requires more fuel and less cargo sent to space. Trying to protect the environment is a good thing indeed, but there has to be a cost-benefit analysis even there. You do not drive a lorry to the other side of the country to pick up piece of plastic bag and then drive back.

Slap some sort tax on them which should be used to collect tenfold the amount of garbage out of the sea from the shore line.
