You'd still need to sort and clean it, since impurities would affect its strength. And recycling plastic is unbelievably baked. |

Plastic waste is already being recycled here as landscaping timbers, so this is baked. Additionally, shredded polythene is mixed with sawdust to make boards for decks and walkways- never rots, never needs painting. Only drawback I see is that it is not as strong (in the load-bearing sense) as traditional lumber. |
