    I believe it uses a lot of water and isn’t really safe for food consumption, and for preserving food

        Short distribution channels would be the best

        Else, fruits and food that don’t really need packaging because they have a natural bacteria barrier, or something similar

        But yea I don’t see any good sanitary alternative. Since we’re bound to get microplastics I guess reusable containers that are only washed and reused a couple of times would be beneficial, at the cost of a little more microplastics.

        Some kind of paper to a certain extend for some things, but yea, nothing is as good as plastic :(

        Don’t use plastic where you don’t need to. And then maybe use cardboard+thin plastic for the rest: less recyclable, but less plastic 🤔. Depends on the route you want to choose: less pollution or less plastic waste

            I’m obviously talking about things other than water. You should obviously drink and use the water from your house
