    Oh I’m so fucking sorry this manufacturer gave you clear instructions on how to recycle properly

    Your life must be truly horrible 😂

      Nah, get the fuck outta here with that bullshit.

      Ignoring the fact that hardly any plastic is actually recyclable in the first place, your argument is that conscious consumers should accept additional responsibilities on the off chance that it MIGHT actually get recycled?

      We figured out how to print on basically any surface a long time ago. How about we hold companies to a standard of responsible packaging, instead of yet again passing the buck to the end user.

        We need both. We need companies to do more to make things out of easier to recycle or compost materials, and we need consumers to do more to separate things to make them easier to recycle. It’s far too late to push responsibilities around, we all need to be responsible.

          Yep, this package design is about awareness, as much as responsibility

          The dipshit that replied to me is beyond that, but kids will grow up with it, and think about it

            My point was that it’s not necessary, and the practice increases the likelihood that the entire bin will be thrown out because some consumer didn’t peel them off. Then the company gets to say “we told them to do it, it’s not our fault!”

            I do peel these off, but I also think that they are irritating and actively hinder the problem at hand.

      Look at the sub name. Now reread your comment. You’re missing the point.
