Right, but most things people are single-using are not things that touch their lips. It's going to be masks, bags, gloves, etc. If designed correctly, these can easily be multi-use. In terms of cups, I actually quite like Germany's process of standardized glass bottles. I think glass in general is also easier to clean and worst case can be melted and re-formed.
