Paper boxes are also single-use and meant to be recycled, aren't they? This subthread is about how recycling is not enough and how we need to switch to reusable packaging.
Instead of paper boxes, it would be nice if it became the norm to go into stores with our own containers to put our food in instead of using store-provided, single-use packaging. It's ok if they're plastic as long as they're intended and made to be used and reused for years.
- jdsully 8y agoThe paper boxes are bio degradable. A major difference.
- bobthepanda 8y agoIIRC a problem with this is bacteria; bacteria can hang around in reusable bags.
- jolmg 8y agoYes, reusability means that we need to clean more stuff. We won't be able to just throw out dirty stuff anymore.
