Bastian AllgeierSometimes marketing is all about waiting long enough for your audience to forget about the 80s and 90s.
I love how ALDI celebrates this brilliant new design that saves 40% of plastic by removing the plastic lid.
But that design is also a great example how we just started adding plastic to pretty much everything for 1.2% more comfort. That old design was always ok, it never really needed the plastic lid in the first place.
Mirko@bastianallgeier aren’t especially these „Tetra packs“ anyways the most unrecyclable bs?
@miles_leif yep, just looked it up. The official claim is 76% recyclable but it seems to be more like 30% in reality. Great!
@bastianallgeier was just looking for it too. In general recycling is not really working. But that does not even feel like a surprise
Juho MäntysaloCorrect me if I'm wrong, but "tetra packs" (eg. those small juice boxes; tomato pyree) have aluminium, but those one litre cartons (eg. for milk, juice) do not.
Both manufactured by Tetra, though.
@iju @bastianallgeier Mh, interesting, could be. At the same time now I am seeing tons of soaked paper waste going to the plastic trash 🫠
Don't get me wrong; I'm definitely for closed loop recycling, even if it's sometimes a bit more inconvenient. The above post was just me trying to connect my observations to theory.
