I imagine all plastics will be out of the question. I’m wondering about what ways food packaging might become regulated to upcycling in the domestic or even commercial space. Assuming energy remains a $ scarce $ commodity I don’t imagine recycling glass will be super practical as a replacement. Do we move to more unpackaged goods and bring our own containers to fill at markets? Do we start running two way logistics chains where a more durable glass container is bought and returned to market? How do we achieve a lower energy state of normal in packaging goods?
@FalseMyrmidon@kbin.run True but I just want to add the super pedantic point that they have started adding polymers to them! And for cooking materials, too! It’s very yikesy to me
Presumably something made to be biodegradable would not include polymers
