The grams of waste per teaspoon of ketchup seems high.

What else has a super high packaging waste per consumable volume?

    Not as bad as the others, but it’s been on my mind… My wife bought a box of Ding-Dongs (my daughter begged her) and inside, each one was individually wrapped. They could have put them all in one tray.

      Every box of sweets in Japan are like that. There’s an outer layer of plastic, an inner layer and every sweet is individually packaged. It feels so wasteful.

        I got some chineese chocolate from a colleague, and it was a plastic wrapped paper box wih 10 smaller boxes on the inside. These smaller boxes were an orb shaped chocolate wrapped in aluminium foil, wrapped in a small plastic bag.

      I bought a family pack of chocolate croissants the other week and the packaging was plastic, then they divided them in 3 smaller packets and inside they were individually packed. I don’t really understand

      Your not meant to eat them all in one go though, and theyd get stale pretty quick if they weren’t individually wrapped.
