Maybe put a plastic tax on producers. I don’t think the problem at a psychological level is getting people to recycle correctly (although we should get as many people to recycle). People/businesses will generally do what’s easiest/cheapest to do. The problem is making biodegradable containers more attractive than the ones that are not. Currently, I believe, this is impossible since we don’t really have the capabilities to manufacture anything like it(formable, heat resistant, durable, flexible, transparent, cheap). There are people experimenting, but we’re pretty far away from a solution. I really think that the only solution that will work at a psychological level is to get companies to pay fully for their environmental impact. Unfortunately, This can’t happen unless all companies around the world play by these rules, and even then we’re talking about corporations that twist to avoid taxes. Having said that, why can’t we just ban plastics/non-biodegradable materials like its cancer? We survived millennia without it? I’m sure we can figure something out.
