    All of this packaging simply needs to be made…easily compostable & biodegradable, with a low-impact manufacturing process. It rots away? Cool. Make more.

    It will become garbage. It will often not get recycled.

    The world will not be made better by 50,000 people recycling everything perfectly. The world will be made significantly better by hundreds of millions of people recycling imperfectly, by companies making products & packaging better by design.

      Most recyclables in general aren’t even all that recyclable to begin with. All those campaigns telling you to recycle plastics are just pushing the blame onto consumers when it has always been the fault of manufacturers. Coca Cola even funds some of them, because its easier to fool people than to use different materials.
