How can people shop in a way that reduces packaging waste?

Expert Solution

Step 1

In the United States, packaging accounts for roughly a third of municipal solid waste. Cardboard boxes, fiberboard, all forms of plastic, metal and glass containers, and foam all serve important duties in safeguarding products and delivering information to consumers, but they are frequently discarded after a short period of time. Some packaging products, particularly food ware like cups, lids, takeout containers, and bags, frequently wind up as litter in marine habitats, polluting the environment and living species for much longer than they are in use. Adding a few basic practises to your daily routine will reduce your packaging footprint and maybe save you money.
