Why can't we force manufacturers to be responsible for their own package recycling? We don't get to choose the packaging they use, so shouldn't they be paying for shipping and recycling of said plastics.
I agree, amongst other regulations. Let’s not be fooled into the “individual responsibility” nonsense that industry pushes to shift responsibility away from themselves. We need better systems in place so that there’s less waste in the first place.
