Here in eastern Canada milk is often offered in bags. I know bags use a great deal less plastic and probably are easier on the environment shipping wise but they are also not recyclable. I have seen some examples on the internet where you can refill shampoo/cleaning liquid from a dispenser into your own container. I think it would be cool if that could be done for a number of products that are liquid into a standardized glass container. That way shipping would be more efficient and users could use whatever type of container they want.

I think we should have every company use a standard, probably plastic, container based on product lines. Takeaway food containers are almost standardised and can be used for 100s of uses and only appear to use about 5 times the plastic. You'd send them back to the store they'd wash them and reuse them. Require reusable packaging. Also, all suppliers would have to take back any packaging they distribute - use the supply chain in reverse. My position is that plastics are not evil, lack of reuse is where the malevolence lies.
