Or, in some cases, just less packaging in general. Plastic is so cheap that it's seemingly used "because we can" in many instances. How important is it that nobody else's fingerprints are on the case of your brand new DVD?
- jabroni_salad 3y agoCareful, the 'Reduce' and 'Reuse' part of the 3 R's are deeply unpopular. How dare we not cover everything in useless plastic wraps? It's practically a jobs program. Do you wanna make the plastics workers unemployed???
- developer93 3y agoHere in Germany at least, I see less plastic packaging than there was when I came 10 years ago. For example, locally, you can take your container to the supermarket deli counter and they will fill it with cheese or meat. This is a big national chain (Edeka). I assume awareness is better in most countries than it was, and companies follow demand.
- NewbornKittens 3y agoThe vast majority of plastic is in packaging industrial purposes, i.e. moving stuff through factories and warehouses. It's not the brand new DVD that have the majority of it, it's the plastic CD-transporters, plastic dvd-case molders/holders/transporters, plastic wrap holders, etc.
- kube-system 3y ago> How important is it that nobody else's fingerprints are on the case of your brand new DVD? How important should it be? Zero. How important is it to your sales, when your competitors product on the shelf has zero fingerprints and yours does? Critical.
- developer93 3y agoThis can be educated/advertised. A label saying "finger prints on our dvds prove they are safer for you(r children) and the environment" would be enough I suppose.
- kube-system 3y agoIf only marketing were so easy.
- developer93 3y agoAnd yet that kind of thing is done all over the place all the time
