Each bar is wrapped in cellophane, which are then wrapped in the normal outer packaging. To make the 4 pack, they simply took 2x two packs and put them on a cardboard tray,and then wrapped those.
I don’t think I’ve ever gone through so much unwrapping for candy.
i have recently become very aware of and disgusted by the the amount of plastic waste i make.
every single goddammed thing is covered in it. it’s obscene and i am ashamed.
Don’t blame yourself for something that is the fault of massive corporations.
Not your fault there are few, good alternatives. By all means, if switching to more ethical products makes you feel better, don’t let me stop you, but this is a problem that needs government regulation to solve.
But the government regulation will never come without a LOT of voters feeling very unhappy, so perhaps don’t tell people they shouldn’t feel unhappy about the situation?
I guess I dodn’t make myself clear. People should be angry, but they should point that anger at these massive corporations who keep distributing everything in single-use plastic containers, even when there are friendlier alternatives.
People also need education about greenwashing and how to detect it.
I’m also aware of the amount of plastic waste that passes through my hands.
The difference here being: i notice what is necessary and how much of it is useless extra added on by the manufacturer for advertisement purposes.
The latter is usually 50% and even as bad as 80% in a lot of cases.
I’m not ashamed, i’m dissapointed they are allowed to keep doing this while i’m forced to make all kind of changes (i use forced because they artificially increase the price to stop us from doing things)
If you want to really know how much try this. https://thebigplasticcount.com/
Tracking what you use will go towards data that can be used to pressure companies and government to try to change their ways.
Same, it’s pretty damn ridiculous how much trash we generate.
