@bastianallgeier aren’t especially these „Tetra packs“ anyways the most unrecyclable bs?

@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.

Apparently the resource impact from driving glass bottles back and forth is comparable to the manufacturing of there plastic and metal foil containers.

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!
