The obvious solution is to make it possible to bring the containers back to the store and refill them with stuff you need. There's a farm close to me that sells eggs and encourages you to bring your own tray, but it can easily be exten

Denmark used to have a system for reusing glass beer bottles. There was one standardized size that all the breweries used, and they were reused. At some point in the last decade or so, the system was changed so now the glass gets recycled i
