Designing Products That Don’t Generate Plastic Waste

The Story of Stuff makes a good point here.

In truth, both the manufacturers and the consumers play important roles in reducing plastic waste, and the consumer’s role is not limited to recycling.  It also includes shopping with waste in mind.

Good examples are all around us.  I like the current trend towards laundry detergent that comes in strips of material that dissolve in the wash, and concentrated broth that is sold jars.
