The transition

They cant recycle used pizza boxes though, luckily theres only 20bn a day used just in our town.

If they made them out of plastic they could be washed and recycled.

Full disclosure: if waste needs to be washed/rinsed it goes in the trash here.

What if you could collapse your Amazon boxes and put them at your door to be picked up and reused with your next delivery? Just remove the label.

Jeff Bezos will probably plant his own forests to harvest trees for his cardboard boxes.

Thats a very California thought Pedal.
For us.
Fold, open door, place box...and its turned into cardboard milkshake.

Cardboard waste is not a problem if you grow enough trees to keep up. It degrades in the soil, good mulch for the garden probably. Before plastic they used to put some wax coating on it, for potato chips, bread and the like, just a smear that degraded too. The only reason industry uses so much plastic is because it's cheaper and the Shale Gas liquids, which is mostly ethene, have no other use and are very cheap. We're talking about the foundations of capitalism here, the rational profit maximizer and all that.

It is private profit now at a greater price for everyone in the future.

It is also in seamen, so if you are into Barbie, that's fine. No need to sterilize.
