Depends on how thick the plastic is and how many times you reuse it. I’m guessing you have to reuse a Tupperware a good 100 times before you’ve saved vs Saran W

(Of course the Tupperware has other advantages)
- pixl97 4y agoInteresting you're getting downvoted for something that is absolutely true. Thin film plastics are exceedingly efficient. When you add in secondary energy effects like adding soap and water for cleaning the reused packaging, and 3rd order effects like food borne illness when you fail to do so properly, the plastic wins the energy game every time. The discussion goes in to debates over energy use versus litter at that point.
- happymellon 4y agoI normally use my Tupperware about 100 times or so. And while I completely agree, I not sure if lots of thin is better or worse than one thick even if it ended up being used relatively the same compared to thickness.
