That's right folks! Costco, for whatever reason changed the tortilla strip chip bag from a perfectly recyclable bag to this piece of shit bag that you can't recycle.
You can't recycle paper tainted with food oils. Or if it's lined with plastic/wax. It gets sorted and dumped into the landfill. You can't compost it either. Neither options are good unless it's pure paper bag with no mixes plastic.
Yeah, they should have gone to a rice or dextrin or CMC coated bag. Stuff that just dissolves in water.
This right here. You couldn’t recycle this anyway. The list of what you can’t recycle is about 4 miles longer than what you can.
Similarly, the packaging change they made to the rotisserie chicken means me never eating that heated plastic bag garbage ever again.
It was plastic before but it was at least a tray and a covering. So the plastic at least seemed more durable and not all of it was touching the bird. Now it's just a shitty plastic bag being warmed under a light. Disgusting.
They did also cut the chicken with the same knife they cut several million chicken before the one you picked today! Yey!
Or, they’re finally being realistic about the bag’s recyclability…
Yeah weren't the old ones lined with plastic anyway? I would think it would need to be to keep them from going stale
This is not a shitpost.
While I don't agree, your post is shittier than OPs
I buy the big thing of cashews from there; recently, they went from the infinitely-reusable and recyclable hard plastic cube with screw-on top to a plastic bag like this. The label says “uses 40% less plastic” or some shit. Costco is a good company, but holy shit so much single-use plastic.
The cubes, for 9/10 people, is single use plastic. That was actually a good change.
This is also consistent with Reduce reuse recycle
About the time they got rid of the hard plastic cashew jars and switched to the bags, they also started selling a (more expensive) glass jar of cashews.
So for me, it does cut down on the plastic, since now I just refill the glass jar with the bagged cashews, rather than needing to buy (and dispose of) the plastic jar every time.
I might feel differently if I was actually reusing the plastic jars for something but I really wasn't (not after the first few, anyway).
Now if they would introduce a deposit on those jars and refill them...
Better yet, just get nut silos and have customers refill themselves. They seem to usually be near checkout anyway, so they could have someone monitor the area for abuse while telling people what lines aren't super full...
It would cut down on the back and forth transportation of the containers, and clean refill labor, etc.
I totally re-use glass jars! It's a nice cleanable container.
How many of those cubes is it reasonable for someone to have?
If that threshold is less than 10, I’m unreasonable
If you are building something out of it like a raft, any number is fine.
most of the recent changes to costco lately is the current ceo, hes been trying to make it behave like other large chains as of recently.
Was the bag actually paper before, or paper lined with plastic?
It was lined with plastic.
It was paper lined with plastic....turtle choking bags of plastic coated paper. Probably using less plastic. Well not sure if it was plastic or some sort of PVA but it was mostly just paper.
Their paper towels from Kirkland feel cheaper. I think they may be enshittifying themselves.
Cost, probably.
Might be my imagination but I think Kirkland stuff has been declining in quality lately. The paper towels seem worse now, but I'm not sure how.
