Excellent idea – but currently it is more expensive to ship reusable materials than it is to bury it, burn it, or send it to a poor country in the global south where it ends up in a river then makes its way to the great garbage patch in the Pacific. We people de-prioritize some really important stuff. You’re right – but the focus has to shift economically away from endless money printing and ever-increasing profits. We need economics that focus around human need first. Reward companies for putting people first, rather than capital. Until that happens, or I don’t know – luxury communism under fusion energy happens first – (you know, where scarcity basically disappears at scale because we can suddenly apply energy to big projects like global water access via desalinization and vertical farms in low-food-density areas like the desert, etc.) – we probably will continue to be under the thumb of this shitty system. Nobody wants to fight the powerful. Not really.
