I sure hope so.
Time to move to glass instead of plastic pollution
Plastic on its own is not evil. The problem is single-use plastic. Tupperware lasts decades - I’ve got a few containers that mum bought 40+ years ago. Hard to imagine that she was younger than I am when she bought these containers, and they outlasted her.
No argument that we have a plastic problem as a society; but I don’t really see Tupperware itself as a part of that problem.
Storing and heating food in plastic is a very large source of nanoplastic and microplastic consumption
Dont microwave them, that’s for sure
It’s not the pollution of glass that’s as much a concern as the lack of materials. The world is running out of sand.

No wonder considering all the concrete being poured into large construction projects.
Glass recycles back into glass. Just gotta quit putting it in the landfill.
Yup. That’s what I’m getting at. The problem isn’t how discarded glass directly impacts the environment. It’s far less hazardous than most refuse. The concern is discarded glass won’t be recycled, requiring more new production.
Australia sucks at recycling. When I lived in Germany the residential streets had separate bins for green, brown and clear glass. So it can be recycled while maintaining quality. Separating waste is a matter of social conscience.
oh, no!!!
anyway…
Not really. It’s weird Tupperware was still doing any of that instead of just selling at stores exclusively or even opening a Tupperware store made up of everything from food containers to big storage bins and such.
But MLMs are very much a thing. My wife is one of those people who somehow makes bank selling Tea to women who are running to hand her hundreds of dollars per order without her making much of an effort.
Your wife is at the top of the pyramid. Those women handing her hundreds are her downline, and statistically they’re probably getting fucked over.
Or she lucked out and found a bunch of women who really like tea… Nah.
Yeah cause women HATE tea. /s
