Really … separating that stuff takes like 5 seconds extra.

The point of the packaging shown in the original post is pretty much that it’s more paper and less plastic … where recycling tends to work better.

Regarding the wording. In German(y) we have two kinds of “Verwertung” (utilization). The material one (recycling) and the energetic one (incineration). Both is viewed as reusing the waste. Sometimes energetic utilization can supply the power and/or heat needed for material utilization.

Burning it doesn’t have to be as bad as burying it.

EDIT: I guess it depends on how it gets burned. The company, my dad worked for, used it to produce steam, for the chemical companies located there, among other things.

Especially for paper no … or rather it’s complicated. There is demand for recycled paper and we have lots of products which are made with these.

If I understand it correctly, Germany imports more waste paper than it exports. But the quality between those two differs

Like it’s been said that differs vastly by location. Afaik here in Germany it works quite okay … and European countries tend to have a higher incineration rate than the US. Burning the trash certainly isn’t the best solution, but at least it converts them into energy instead of just burying it somewhere.

But that aside, I like these “new” cups. It replaces part of the plastic with cardboard. That allows the plastic to be thinner, focusing on sealing it up and the cardboard handle the stability or even light protection. Though it can definitely be that there are some which are still as thick as they were, but that wouldn’t make sense for the producer. Here in Germany the plastic is often see-through and the cardboard printed on both sides. That’s usually used as advertising space, infos for waste disposal, but I’ve even seen it being used for cup noodles to mark the fill level.

Afaik paper is the thing where reycling works best currently, so it should be a win to replace plastic with paper.

The recycling rate increased in 2023. 79.3% of all paper and board consumed in Europe was recycled

is this (06/29)/18 or 06/(29/18)?

Just use JPGs

Honestly never heard of that, but I’m also a bit lost in translation. Does this have any relevance to a person that only uses olive and sunflower oil and doesn’t eat any meat?

Now I can’t 🫠

Isn’t it some form of renewables? Growing food with the sun.

Though I prefer to just water edible wild stuff occasionally instead of putting to much energy in growing it intentionally.

Even though the shirt doesn’t match, I first had to think of Mario

men are as turned on by the appearance of a cock as a male is to tits

You nearly got it

I suspect taxidermy. Take a closer look at its posture. It’s looking straight to the front

You’ll get the DRM curse instead.

Welser Knopf wurde nun gedrückt? Ich sehe keinen Finger.

Are there also shitterthoughts?
