Agree. That’s the reason why I try to not obsess over my plastic consumption. I avoid single use plastic my best but there is sometimes when the choice of plastic and of single use is just better. It takes me a few year for me to finish a small of cling wrap but how unpractical it would be never use any! Same with reusable plastic, not the best for environnemental and health perspective but unbeatable for weight, plus not breakable and cheap.
The point for industry is the same as for people: we should try to find the right material for the right conditions while avoid overconsumption and wastefullness and keep single use for case with no other solution.
But do just that while be a lot of work already.
There is a balance to find I believe. I find people follow the principle of “refuse, reduce, reuse” truly and adopt plastic only when it is a significantly better choice than an other material, we would be in a much better situation.
But then there would still be the issue of the giagantus amont of plastic waste we would still have to deal with from the past and honestly, I’m not use there is a way to tackle them.
