Our society is ambitious – ever farther, ever faster, ever better, ever more optimistic, ever more modern.
As a result, we are developing new technologies and companies are pushing to bring these new technologies to market, and are trying to bring these technologies to every sector.
That’s the way it is today and that’s how it was a long time ago with plastic.
With the discovery of plastic and polymers, a whole new kind of product has entered our lives and in every area.
Today we know that plastic is a blessing and a curse at the same time, if it is not properly recycled.
That this is the case, more and more companies are discovering and trying to dodge alternative options or to develop new technologies and manufacturing methods that are environmentally sound (we reported).
Sometimes a step back is two steps forward
With all the innovations and developments, it is often advantageous to take a step back and resort to the old, before compulsively looking for new opportunities.
This was also recognized by the operator of a REWE store in NRW.
As the website Utopia.de reports, customers have recently been given the opportunity to refrain from buying plastic bags when shopping for fruit and vegetables and instead use cardboard boxes to protect the environment. Thus, this market is deliberately against the redundant use of plastic and sets a good example, although it is technologically a step backwards.
We at Grass AF think this approach is great and happy about this innovative devolution.
