Was reading new package, they removed plastics and now they brag about it.
I have issues in my life because of that. As a consumer I have to watch about my carbon footprint and recycle plastics, can even get fined if I don't.
So why would I praise them if they could do it long time ago and see how much plastic they produced each year.
I never asked to use plastics
What a meaningless statistic. If you reuse a plastic bag, that could also be 40,000 km of plastic, just atoms thick
I have different package at home.
"By removing the plastic from our packaging we will save the equivalent of about 30 million plastic bags annually*.
*based on 2019 sales volume in Europe, Middle East and Africa and a 10g plastic bag that is 45cm long"
so this doesn't even include Asia, Americas and Australia
What, you don't observe the standard unit of Q-tips per Earth's circumference?
what was stopping them?
It was cheaper than the alternative and people didn't care as much as they do today
Turns out oil (needed to make plastic) is becoming more expensive.
