@ai6yr Governments need to be creating rewards/incentives for businesses making and selling sustainable packaging.

We used to have this. I'm old enough to remember bottle returns.

We also have to create sustainable accessible delivery for things - many disabled people can't lift the weight of things packaged in glass, metal, and ceramic. But we do need those packaging methods.
