Ban plastic for consumables, glass and cardboard forever!!!
In case you didn't know, I think you might like to know: In Germany they also do reusable PET and reusable glass.
"reusable" in really big quotation marks
Dude, why are you spreading bullshit when it's quite obvious you have no clue?
There is no such thing as an indefinitely recyclable plastic. The best kind can only be recycled a few times.
Reusable is different than recyclable. They mentioned reusable plastic as in you make it out of a thicker material and only wash it in between uses so that by the time it’s actually damaged enough to be recycled it’s been used many times
You can do that if you want to eat a lot of microplastics
That’s not where all our microplastics are coming from, the much bigger concern is driving cars which leaches a bunch of microplastics from the tires that end up in our waterways. By reusing the plastics you have less deliveries so less microplastics in your local water supply
Micro rubbers, I much prefer to believe we're just helping the microscopic life forms practice safe sex. It's the only way to stop viruses from spreading 🤷♀️
You're constantly moving Goalposts. Point is, "Mehrweg"-Bottles in Germany are getting refilled, and they are more environmentally friendly than the single use ones. The PET-Multiuse even more so because they have smaller transport emissions thanks to the smaller weight
