My comment is late but it’s against the prevailing mood of the top comment -
People are ignoring a very critical factor - “disposable culture” is the brother of cheap and convenient goods.
This means that poor people can get cheap food in cheap packagaging with better safety levels than otherwise.
This means - packets of Singl use detergent - affordable to people in poverty.
It means less paper use - which means less pollution in the creation process.
Mumbai has asked people to not use plastic - meat vendors are asking people to bring tins to carry meat. Those need to be cleaned which means an increase in water use.
This is a much bigger problem than it seems.
