The grams of waste per teaspoon of ketchup seems high.

What else has a super high packaging waste per consumable volume?

    Noone wants to hear this one because… we are spoiled and the alternative fucking sucks…

    Diapers and wet wipes. Most are not biodegradeable. That one is the one I am guilty of that bothers me the most.

      I would expand that and say small kids in general are super wasteful. They consume a lot of resources, produce a lot of trash (and noise) and are a significant source of stress and sleep deprivation, both of which are suspected of causing cancer. 😅

        It took me years to finally get a bidet. Now I’m a bidet enthusiast! The only bad thing about having a bidet is using a toilet without one.

      We use reusable nappies for our toddler, and the washing machine is powered by solar so I only really need to feel bad about any excessive water use. But then we still have to use disposables when they’re at their nursery for a few days a week, or the staff don’t smell anything and they get bad rashes we spend all week dealing with. At the very least though the nursery deals with nappies as a specific form of waste that they process separately, though I’m not sure to what end.

      Biodegradable wet wipes are a thing. They are a bit rougher but not bad.

      Biodegradable nappies/diapers exist too but they are awful. Similar to try cloth or reusable (with a changeable lining). Awful.
