Consumer facing, maybe. I've worked with manufacturers in Europe and the amount of packaging they go through just receiving components from China (batteries, PCB) and other European countries is staggering. So much plastic just unwrapped and tossed. And later more packaging added.
People have no idea how little their personal choices and what they see in consumer facing products actually matter in the grand scheme of environmental impacts. Most of the efforts we see (plastic straws banned, caps that don't detach, "recycling") are just cosmetic. It's design to distract us from the real issue of industrial consumerism and preventing actual meaningful change.
