The sheer amount of plastic waste created before it reaches the customer is far worse… Tons of shrink wrap and Styrofoam filling the garbage bins of every store and we’re worried about the little plastic window in your box of pasta. This is just straws and shopping bags again and again; no meaningful change and even worse is that it makes people think something’s being done so they don’t look too deep.
Can we stop complaining about progress?
Yes, you’re right, there are bigger issues. Doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the small victories. Any and all waste reduction is a good thing.
I agree with you but I also think the large companies seem to always get away with this and it’s the consumers that have to do all the work.
Extended producer responsibility FTW.
