Reduce is a consumer focused, it's a failing strategy. Reducing to 1% of what we currently throw away would still destroy the planet. Making reuse the centre point forces reduce to also happen, if your product has to ship in reusable containers, they are going to be smaller anyway. Products that don't need containers will stop using them again.
- adrianN 6y agoReducing to 1% would destroy the planet a hundred times slower, which is not bad. I agree that the correct strategy is not encouraging consumers to choose products with less packaging, but instead we need to strongly incentivize producers to reduce packaging. Appropriate laws need to be written and the costs of packaging completely internalized via taxes.
