The sentence presents a type of logical fallacy known as "false choice." It suggests that because one aspect of plastic (the caps) is not recyclable, it undermines the value of recycling all plastic. This creates a false dichotomy, implying that if one part is not recyclable, then recycling plastic as a whole is pointless, ignoring the potential benefits of recycling other plastic items.
So the correct answer is: false choice.
