Gregory's ServerBut that design is also a great example how we just started adding plastic to pretty much everything for 1.2% more comfort. That old design was always ok, it never really needed the plastic lid in the first place.

@miles_leif tbh, I’m not sure how well those can be recycled. We are at least given the impression that it is possible by the recycling system. @bastianallgeier @miles_leif And in the end a lot of plastic can just be burned for heat. If one would have burned the oil for heat, the plastic was virtually free. With heat pumps and solar/wind that argument is moot, though. @miles_leif yep, just looked it up. The official claim is 76% recyclable but it seems to be more like 30% in reality. Great! @bastianallgeier was just looking for it too. In general recycling is not really working. But that does not even feel like a surprise @bastianallgeier Fun fact: my mom (in her 80s) never uses all these plastic opening-things, she always cuts them open like she did for most of here life 😅  Have to say I agree with your mum. I cut them open because my hands struggle to open the plastic lid (arthritis). @bastianallgeier Ich erinnere mich noch an das „Aufschneiden“, als dann diese Kappen eingeführt wurden war ich als Kind tatsächlich zuerst verwirrt. Und jetzt haben Firmen wieder nen Grund fürs Greenwashing gefunden, weil sich genug Leute nicht dran erinnern können, dass es auch mal anders war.  @bastianallgeier the old design had the advantage to be able to get all the content out. Also it is cheaper to produce. |
@bastianallgeier aren’t especially these „Tetra packs“ anyways the most unrecyclable bs?
