Use biodegradable containers or if you insist on plastics, use a strict recycling program where you pay extra for the container and you can get money back if it gets to a recycling facility. If you're lazy and don't care to return the item to some recycling facility someone else will for that deposit... Plastic recycling is not great though and it's better to use plastic sparingly.. One time use plastics are the worst offenders for the environment.

There are several scandals of corruption about recycling programs (that billed and taxed but didnt't recycled) in the past. The effect is similar to the 'Tax to the Sun' in the last years that destroyed by design most public interest into solar projects after deliberately making the life of the independent solar domestic producers a bureaucratic nightmare. Now they try to convince people to adopt it, but there is a lost of distrust by people risking their money aware that a change in the government would block it again, because some people have an economic interest into blocking the adoption of clean energies. Most people interested in nature conservation had been punished and burnt a few times yet, so much of the momentum has been lost. People promoting "Two time use" plastics forgot that mold loves fruit, so you need to protect your product from spores and bruises that would destroy totally your investment. You would wrap a second fruit on the same plastic and is like bathing it into rooted stuff, is spoiled really quick. To made illegal to wrap in plastics the same fruit that is cultured in the so called 'sea of plastics' is heartwarming but also a perfect irony. To compensate the loses in spoiled fruits we would need to increase the surface covered in plastic to culture more fruits. Promoting to eat more meat and less fruit would be a much more efficient way.

  If something didn't go right in some cases doesn't mean it's not doable. Bottom line is that we need to stop polluting the environment and plastics are a big offender. We can fix this problem. What's wrong with biodegradables? Not cheap enough?
