They have plastics made from corn that work very well for a vast number of jobs - especially those pesky good containers. Some specialty items might be able to be exempted - no big deal. But even carmarkers have started making virtually every piece of the car able to be recycled. If they can do it, most other industries can.
As far as health care, the effect would be tiny and people don't seem to be complaining about the 30 to 90% i is going to go up due to Trumps "Worlds Greatest" healthcare changes....
