Nope as soon as that object is washed with water it is a net negative for the environment.

Go ahead and feel free to cite a source that says a few mL of water are what makes or breaks the economics of recycling.

There's no world in which people aren't washing their dishes. Even if we cut down on other forms of consumption, our reusable containers need to be washed.

Washing dishes and reusables makes sense bc they are well reusables. That’s why plastic bags are better than paper (reusables are the best) because plastic bags generally get reused.
