Although, in her article(the i newspaper 9.8.2018), Sharon George highlighted the need
for standardised materials for single use plastic and saw one solution to the
plastics problem in consumers taking their own containers to shops so they can
be reused, there is another important aspect to single use.
Single use is a term coined by industry, and nothing has to
be single use, as Sharon mentioned. If standardisation involved shape as well
as material, used food containers could easily be collected and reassigned to
become the packets of screws you by at B&Q, or any other non food item that
inevitably comes wrapped in plastic. All plastic containers should have many
lives before they're considered for recycling.
