Trash recycling is a scam advertised by plastics companies so they wouldn’t be regulated by tricking gullible people like you. Most trash that is “recycled” is put into a landfill with no processing.
It’s not “more effective”, producing less waste would be the only solution. Which we aren’t doing because, again, plastics companies paid for decades of propaganda.
Liberals love to not solve problems and then throw themselves dramatically onto phrases like “whataboutism”.

I wouldn’t say most trash, just most plastics. Glass and especially cardboard and aluminum are able to be recycled almost endlessly and are more efficient to recycle than their original production cost.
They are able to, that doesn’t mean they are. I cannot find any data on residential recycling rates, and I have to assume, given the track record, that capitalist countries are doing the most wasteful thing that is the worst for the environment.
For cardboard and especially aluminum/copper there’s actually a pretty compelling profit insensitive for recycling them. For glass, it kinda depends on your locality.
