Now we need to figure out how to stop packaging everything in dozens of layers of plastic !
I was amazed when I ordered deodorant from a company that tries to avoid plastic waste and I received it in an envelope made of several layers of paper (whereas most companies would have just used bubble wrap)
Japan is egregiously bad at this e.g. you buy a box of sweets / tea cakes / whatever, the box is shrink-wrapped, then the box contents is shrink wrapped (within the box), then the pieces are individually wrapped.
I guess this is very important and also often overlooked whenever public policy makers talk about Plastic Ban. Where I live (India), It's only the Plastic Carry Bags are always targeted but what's forgotten is that almost everything that we buy - from Biscuit Packages to Shampoo Bottles - everything is just Plastic at different levels.
I believe that the ban on bags isn't about plastic but rather bags themselves. They are easily carried away by wind, get stuck on trees, suffocate animals, etc.
I’d love to know the name of that company. I’m buying 5 litre refills where possible but even when buying supposedly eco friendly products they’ve come wrapped in layer upon layer of plastic.
