Yeah I stopped really caring so heavily about recycling when I realised just one dominos shop causes more rubbish in a day than I do in a year. You can't recycle greasy cardboard.

You can compost it, though. It's a slow process, but you can grow trees in that compost. I'd argue that this is an adequate form of recycling, if we have enough managed forest land.
OTOH... you're not wrong, corps gotta lead the way. I lived in Seattle when we made it illegal to throw away recyclables. Great start, right? No, corps got a carveout. Starbucks made a big show of letting customers sort their recycling, compost and garbage with fancy new lids on their bins. But ultimately, there's a single bag under there, and it all goes to landfill. Ridiculous.
