It used to be milk came in a glass bottle. You didn't chuck the bottle in the trash or recycle when empty, you gave it back to the dairy who washed and reused it. There was a bottle deposit fee to encourage returns.

We could easily do this now with a lot of plastic packaging. Low effort way to cut down on microplastics.

Grocery stores could act as central collection points for all kinds of containers.

Too far to ship them back to manufacturers? Buy local.

I'm sure someone come along to tell me that won't solve the entire problem (you go solve another part of it then) and how it costs more (what does cleaning up all the plastic properly cost?)

It’s more that you can’t “clean up” plastic. It’s starts degrading almost immediately.

This also what recycling is for (though recycling doesn’t actually exist).

The biggest problem is brown/yellow/jewish third worlders are not connected to the earth and they do not care if it’s destroyed.

So, they throw everything into the ocean.
