Genuine question - is there anything being done about - or do they even recognise - the insane overuse of plastic packaging?
I love China, but one thing that drives me nuts is produce bring completely unnecessarily individually wrapped in plastic, then nestled in a plastoc tray, that is itself then wrapped in more plastic...
In other words, is there any plan for "reduce", not just "reuse, recycle"?
I've noticed this is a general phenomenon in Asia unfortunately. Everything gets wrapped in plastic completely needlessly. As far as I know there isn't really any serious effort to combat that.
