I think the only answer to plastic is a gradual, increasing ban. It will be costly, complicated, and at best a pipe dream right now, but it will work. Just a ban on new plastics in packaging would tremendously cut down on plastic waste. In a short time I think the paper, glass, and metal producers will fill the need. A ban may seem extreme, costly, etc. but I see no other way to stop the creeping tidal wave of plastics in... everything.
