Topic: Single-Use plastic topic

blom started this discussion 5 years ago #102,270

If you use a single-use plastic, please document here what it is that you've used.

So far today I have used a small drinks bottle, and the lid from a pot of instant oats.

A single-use plastic is an object made of plastic that is meant to be disposed of immediately after use.

I used several today. Some food wrappers. Like five or six I guess.

@previous (Coiley Leafson !QnI1ArmPmY)
I wonder if there is a home plastic recycling movement. You take all your trash plastics and melt them together in a pot and cast it into a pretty lawn decoration or something.

In my 'hood we have "recycling" but the blue recycling bins get put in a garbage truck and get compacted. It's one blue bin for everything that is "recyclable". There are no rules about what you can or can't put in there. I have a suspicion it ends up in a landfill (how are you going to separate all that shit after it gets compacted???) and it's just a feel-good thing.

I shucked some corn and cooked it up, so I had to discard the plastic bag it was in, as well as the the plastic tape that held the leaves on each ear together.
Soon, I will finish off a bag fo chips, so I will have to discard that as well...

Things are not rendered unable to be reused by calling it 'single use'.

A single use plastic is a plastic which is designed to be disposed of. Just because some people horde doesn't mean that they're not single use.

I used 2 carrier bags today.

Actually, I just remembered I had two breakfast burritos yesterday, and I had to discard their wrappings. I also had another one just now, and I'm finishing up the chips, so that's a total of 7 objects so far (corn bag, corn ties, burritos and chips).

Amazon packaging for a book I ordered. Also drinking from a 2 liter bottle I keep at my desk. Will likely refill it with water, though, so judge as you will.

EDIT: Also, the plastic packaging for a Yugioh structure deck, both from Amazon and the plastic inside the box itself.

I'm waiting for zero-use plastic. You just buy it and then place it immediately in the trash without using it in any way 🤔

Would negative-use plastic require you to throw not only your unused plastic away immediately, but also other people's plastic? 🤔

I think negative-use plastic is when you buy single-use plastic that has already been discarded. You can use it -1 times 🤔
