@gratefuldread I finally found a #PlasticFree #deodorant that works. #Native brand. It’s kind of weird and annoying because you have to stick your finger in the bottom of it to hold it up to apply it, but I will take that extra step to illuminate that whole entire container of plastic.

@amaditalks Thanks for that, we'd need a bigger freezer, and a strategy for keeping the jars safe in the chaos, but I appreciate every step towards #plasticFree living.
Finished watching War on Waste series 3. Informative, confronting, galvanising. Full of practical calls to action for regular people. Some eye-opening stuff about recycling, ultra fast fashion, & PFAS in supermarket food containers.

Scientists have developed a new type of polymer that can be recycled indefinitely without losing its quality. The polymer, called poly(diketoenamine) or PDK, can be easily separated from other materials and additives by soaking in an acidic solution. This could revolutionize the recycling industry and reduce plastic waste. #Recycling #PDK #PlasticFree https://phys.org/news/2023-08-breakthrough-polymer-revolutionize-recycling.html?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=TrueDatter%2Fmagazine%2FBright+Now
New post on my Waste Less blog: The one where I make my own yogurt.

So @WholeFoods, why add to @Amazon's #sustainability problems? #Glass with #metal #lids is #NonToxic. #Plastic leaches #petrochemicals & should not be a #FoodContactMaterial. Yet nearly everything in #supermarkets is packaged in plastic. #PlasticFreeJuly & #PlasticFree everyday. QT @Janet_MASSPIRG: https://nitter.it/Janet_MASSPIRG/status/1680314280371970048#m

Sober look inside the “recycling” myth:
“Your hummus containers, blueberry clamshells.. are literally garbage. That’s because there isn’t a process to economically recycle them..”
(The only 2 plastics that can be recycled: #1 PET and #2 HDPE.)

The UN is drafting a global treaty to end plastic pollution. This is the first time that the world’s nations are coming together to address this urgent environmental issue. The treaty could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, protect biodiversity, and improve human health. #plasticfree #climateaction #UN https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/06/un-plastic-treaty-nature-climate-stories/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=mkhall7475%2Fmagazine%2FTrashtalks

Plastics recycling is a failure that contributes to microplastic pollution, according to a new study. This is because plastic recycling is inefficient, costly and contaminates the environment with tiny plastic particles that can harm wildlife and human health. The study argues that plastic recycling distracts from the real solution: reducing plastic production and consumption.

Questa mattina, ho partecipato alla giornata di raccolta rifiuti organizzata dalla Onlus #PlasticFree. Un bel momento di confronto e partecipazione in compagnia dei volontari e di una rappresentanza della scuola media “G. Carducci”. Abbiamo una città e un pianeta di cui prenderci cura!
Complimenti alla prof. Antonella Rea (referente Plastic Free) e alla prof. Antonietta Annarumma (del IC Carducci) per la bellissima iniziativa.

#Zerowaste #supermarkets are facing hard times, notably those established in the beginning of the #COVID19 pandemics. Many of them are forced to close now, among them the one in #Munich's neighbourhood of #Haidhausen I've been frequenting weekly for the past years, and the one in #Erding. I updated https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-munich-zero-waste accordingly.
