I am curious at how many of these pointless reports are going to be made. I have seen countless reports like this and at the end of the day we are drowning in plastic.
the solutions already exist, the customer & industry just doesnt want to adapt
What choice does the customer really have? Plastic is a component of nearly everything that isn't food and packaging for nearly everything.
example would be paper based alternatives like lets say dishwasher tabs.. society wont spend the money. and therefore these even more expensive packaging alternatives arent even in question of choice
at least thats what makes sense to me so far
