Why has the packaging of m budget baby wipes been changed? Where is the sustainability? Suddenly there is a plastic lid on the pack where until recently there was an adhesive. Sorry, I have no understanding for this. Even if it should be a customer need.

Yes, it is a very stupid, environmentally harmful habit of Migros to attach such plastic parts to more and more products. Tetra packs also have these absolutely unnecessary plastic spouts. This is absolutely incomprehensible in view of the fact that such packaging is quickly thrown away again, sometimes after just a few hours in the case of tetrapacks. And the customer need is the standard excuse when you have no other arguments!
Hello everyone, we have changed the packaging because - you guessed it - it is a customer requirement. I can understand your point about plastic, but it makes even less sense to have to dispose of a product prematurely. Feedback from our customers has shown that the adhesive closure is unwieldy. The adhesive surfaces hardly held over time, the wipes were no longer completely in the packaging and therefore dried out. We are counteracting this with the new closure. This means that the wet wipes stay fresh and can be used for their intended purpose. I hope this explanation is understandable for you, even if it won't change your annoyance. Kind regards, Sina
In both examples, the use of plastic makes sense in my opinion (handling/protection/repeated or sometimes long-term use etc.). Nevertheless, there are some products where the sense of the overall packaging is questionable: e.g. additional plastic lids on skyr products or care product boxes, which usually offer no added value in terms of protection/information compared to the tube and are disposed of immediately. Plastic is often a sensible material if it is used, recycled or disposed of sensibly. I see the "throwaway society" in general, senseless product imports (mineral water, cheap clothes from the Far East, etc.), which have a massive impact on the environment, as much more problematic.
