@forever_ware solves reusable takeaway packaging for food service businesses by providing reusable containers as well as an easy way to ensure that the containers are returned or paid for by consumers. Learn more at foreverware.org.

“A shift towards materials that can be safely reused due to their favorable, inert material properties could be a promising option to reduce the impacts of single-use food packaging on the environment and of migrating chemicals on human health,” the paper states.

But, ultimately, the most effective remedy is the elimination of plastic and the societal use of safer materials, the study’s authors wrote.

Consumers can protect themselves by avoiding plastic as much as possible, bringing non-plastic carryout packages to restaurants and moving food products from plastic packaging to containers made of safer materials.

“Hazardous chemicals can accumulate in recycled material and then migrate into foodstuffs, leading to chronic human exposure” Says a study reported by The @guardian theguardian.com/environment/…

bans: the law enables regulations, subject to approval of Government, prohibiting the supply of all single-use cups, containers, packaging and plastic bags; as long as a suitable reusable alternative or one with a lower level of material wastage could be made, readily available.

setting levies: consumer charges at supermarkets, service stations or other specified classes of retail premises of single-use cups, containers, packaging and plastic bags where there is a suitable reusable alternative.

targets: in relation to reduction in material consumption, targets on increasing reuse and repair, and for actions to achieve these targets.

Ireland has taken the lead on national laws that enable waste prevention of single-use products and packaging. On July 13, 2022 the Irish government enacted a Circular Economy law that requires regulators to set targets, enforce levies and enact bans. data.oireachtas.ie/ie/oireac…
