It used to be that much of what was bought at a grocery would come in basic paper or plastic wrapping. Now much of my work is with residential maintenance and these meal kits are a huge problem at every level. They are huge boxes that get delivered by big trucks, but there is not enough delivery parking or storage. Then they generate a bunch of waste which is supposed to be mostly recyclable but ends up going out as one big mess of garbage with the boxes not broken down and all of the items unsorted and mixed together with wet garbage. The situation reminds me of the flushable wipes crisis that snuck up on everyone despite plenty of early warnings.
