Doesn’t the article actually say that recycling is a scam invented by plastic producers to shift blame away from the plastic producers?
And that no plastic recycling is cost effective or chemically feasible? That glass recycling while chemically feasible is not cost effective?
Pretty sure everybody sorting their trash does more harm than good on net. (Given the transportation energy costs and the marginal effectiveness of recycling it would literally be better for the environment to put everything in the landfill, with the possible exception of metal)

With glass I have heard that there is some upside when trash is burned in maintenance. As sometimes you need to remove it from the incinerator plant. Then again maybe in future the recycled glass will be used for concrete...
