Yeah, it's similar to the debate around whether paper bags or tote bags are more eco friendly. As others mentioned here in regards to dishwashers, what likely matters most is how many times an item must be used before it offsets the environmental cost of it's own production.

Sadly even if you reject the receipt in my regular shops they still get printed, the staff just toss them instead.

A wide adoption of a digital alternative would be great. It of course opens up questions around the impact of hosting them digitally, but I'm optimistic that would cost less than all the unnecessary paper, especially if the service was hosted on renewable power.

Thanks for sharing! This is very cool, some great common sense in action.

Point no. 3 here makes me wonder. Is it worth making plastic for temporary items circular? In the end it will find its way into the trash. Would it be better to bite the bullet and just outlaw plastic in these situations? I guess plastic is very useful especially in regards to food safety.

It aims to: Prevent and reduce packaging waste, including through more reuse and refill systems. Make all packaging on the EU market recyclable in an economically viable way by 2030. Safely increase the use of recycled plastics in packaging. Decrease the use of virgin materials in packaging and put the sector on track to climate neutrality by 2050.

Another win for the EU! Forcing Apple to adopt USB Type C was such a huge triumph also.
