@Han_EONNext hi sorry been away with family troubles but back on track now , myself I agree with the company's making profits rather than actually address the issue it always looks good on paper but it rarely makes a impact on the environments future it's still causing problems , remember the scoop shops were you could take your own containers everytime and buy your loose weight produce this would be a good idea to introduce these that would make a bigger impact on recycling and waste for sure , they harp on about recycling but Wen you receive somthing from home delivery you find it has box in box but plastic packing on both Wats the point boxes can be recycled but not the plastic yet it's not needed so it looks ok on the outside but I side it still has allsorts of in recyclable packing , why on earth do we need fruit in plastic bags Wen you look deeper yea there are company's changing the way they sell and pack but yes there is a price to pay yet if they aren't using them Why the inflation ,in my opinion there is always a contradiction to something that changes nothing changes fully unless you change it urself maybe we need to stop looking too others for change and try this ourselfs stop buying if we think it's not right surley then they will have to stop anyway , excatkt like charity it never stops me giving but by now wouldn't you think that there should be no one without watever the charity is supposed to be providing , just like food banks with the profits in supermarkets they could donate evey week yet we buy the stuff put it in the collection boxes yet they say they have donated mmm they get richer 🤷 cut the middle men out everyone would have enough end of the day eveything comes from the planet so surley it's all free anyway lol make a economy but don't abuse the system
Just going to add a small note about refilling stuff from bulk containers.
Have a look very carefully as most things like shampoos, gels, toothpastes and stuff have a 'use by' symbol, often a small icon of an opened lid and a number next to it. This is the number of months the product is good for after opening.
Once you have cracked open your bulk container, that clock is now ticking.
That said, the toothpaste that lives in my overnight bag for business trips has a 12 month shelf life, and I bought it in about 2016 and it hasn't killed me yet....
Anyway, the full mantra is Reduce, Reuse and Recycle and very much in that order of the waste hierarchy. Reduce the amount of stuff you actually use to avoid the packaging in the first place. Reuse wherever possible, rather than go directly into the recycling stream after one use. Recycle when there is no life left in something.
I try very hard to Reduce the amount of '****' that comes into the house. Wherever possible I try to reuse anything If I can.
Case in point being jars from sauces, jams or pickles. I reuse them as much as possible for my own pickling and preserve making. Her indoors drinks Ovaltine which comes in plastic screw-top jars. I clean out the empties, remove the labels and they end up on shelving in my shed for storing nails, screws, odds and sods and the like. Even the shelves are made from recycled pallet wood.
We have a glass recycling box that goes out for collection every three weeks. We might have one or two items and only put the box out every few months. The neighbours down the lane usually put out a full box every three weeks, but by the time I've 'rummaged', it's often only two-thirds full!
