How about we make recycling easier by mandating less use of plastics to begin with.

Basically it's still up to the local councils to some extent, they just have to collect the same things as each other. What bins you get, how many, what combination of items goes in each, etc, are still location dependent.

Round here I think all it'll mean is glass will now be collected. They have to justify combining certain types of recycling so it may also mean separate bins for things that are already recycled.
