Recycling Recommendation for U.S. Government

I would like to see the United States Congress approve a new federal law as soon as possible that requires the manufacturer of any product to clearly state on that product the category of recyclable item of that manufactured good.
For instance: "PLEASE RECYCLE THIS: RECYCLABLE CATEGORY (RC) IS 'MIXED PAPER'."
Or: "PLEASE RECYCLE THIS: RECYCLABLE CATEGORIES ARE PLASTIC AND MIXED PAPER."
At present, millions of Americans under-participate in natural-resource recycling partly because they are uncertain as to whether the packaging for any given product they've purchased (a Twining's tea bag wrapper, for instance) would be easily processed as a "mixed-paper" recyclable item.
I and many other Americans get confused about whether the texture or color of the paper, for instance, should have any bearing upon whether it can be recycled successfully.
Also, if one has used a paper towel and it has been wadded up a bit, can that item still be recycled successfully?
This reminds me that the U.S. Government should assign top priority to sponsoring or cosponsoring a nationwide educational television program, to be televised at least once per month, that would help to educate all American citizens on how they can particpate fully and comprehensively in natural-resource recycling.
And that observation reminds me that if this has been Great Britain, by contrast, the British Broadcasting Company would no doubt have already presented an educational program of that type, answering and addressing each of the questions arising from participation in natural-resource recycling by individual Britons, and by British business owners, that the British Government regarded as being pertinent or helpful.
