Great idea. What are the sachets made of though? Lined with plastic and destined to be burned on cooking fires and ditches along with all the other single use, single serving P&G product plastic packaging formats targeted at the developing world I'd wager.
- hedora 5y agoA better question is how much plastic waste is the end user producing, and what percentage of that is the sachet. Amdahl’s law, and what not.
- napier 5y agoIn developing country contexts the figures are easier to calculate than people think, due to the fact that functioning recycling and waste management systems are rare. Plastic waste improperly disposed of tallies almost 1:1 with production, and most production is carried out directly or on a contract basis by auditable multinational corporations. Thanks for educating me about Amdahl's law. Some interesting reading to do around that.
