They use considerably less in terms of raw materials than they did 20 years ago. The same is also true even for apparently very simple things like soft drink cans!
Changes were driven by market forces.
- makeitdouble 5y agoWouldn't the amount of raw material be sheer process optimization, driven by production costs ? If they came up with easier to recycle designs I'd hear you, but the only industry I see having done real efforts is the plastic bottling industry, and it is still hands down one of the worse plastic producer, even considering recycling.
- AlchemistCamp 5y agoThe reduction in raw material is from finding structurally sound ways of using less, both in the product itself and in the packaging. Yes, that's driven by production costs.
