As a Dutchman, I'm kind of curious about this. Do you have a source?
I do know that several cities have done away with the plastic trash deposits and have it automatically seperated from the general waste afterwards by waste processing companies such as this one:

It was a Zembla episode about recycling from some time ago:

That company you mention has the right idea. Meanwhile RD4 now not only has the yellow bag for electronics/toys/hard plastics but also a pink bag for soft plastics to make stuff even more confusing. The issue was also a lot of stuff gets trashed because of incorrect recycling, like people putting the plastics for sandwich meat in the plastic recycling bags. They then have to burn the entire bag since its contaminated and unusable. If they sort stuff themselves that issue doesnt exist.
