This is why it drives me insane when ppl say "I only use real dishes, never use plastic. Blah blah blah" I worked for an appliance company one day our factory dent is an entire shipment of plastic handles that wld need manual labor to assemble and the company just junked them. Didn't send them back, didn't have a team work on them, just straight up trashed the whole lot.
I was in the military and I've worked at Wal-Mart before that. The sheer scale of government and corporate waste would blow your mind, yet they can't shell out for clean drinking water on base.
Freakin ridiculous
Ok... and? It sounds like you are saying your company bought a shipment of plastic, junked it, and you're somehow using that to justify buying plastic.
Nopes, the order was for replacement handles that included a metal component.
I'm saying that without making corporations responsible to manage their waste and impact, it's meaningless to police an individuals use of plastic
