    You’re discounting transportation and manufacturing (energy) costs.

    Reusable only works if it’s manufactured fairly locally and actually gets recycled, which a lot of stuff doesn’t, even if it’s made from glass or metal.

    We need to move away from packaging altogether.

    Bring-your-own-container is the only way.

        Glass = heavy. More transport pollution, more manufacturing pollution.

        While glass is high in recyclability, all hinges on where it’s coming from and where it’s going (to be recycled).

        Best container is the one you can bring from home.
