Sure, let’s continue to chop down forests, create waste chemical byproducts and produce greenhouse gases as the waste decomposes. So we can cart food around for a few hundred kilometres in a single use cardboard box.
All because we’ve now pivoted to making microplastics the devil.
Sure, Reusable Wooden crates would be better. But maybe they’re not as viable.
Reduce > Reuse > Recycle
Paper/cardboard production does not require clearing land, there is vast amounts of already cleared land that can be used as sites for tree farms. Paper and wood product is the lesser evil compared to plastic.
Reusable wooden crates would be an ideal alternative, and what we used for a very long time prior to plastics. Same with glass.
