Plastic packaging

Plastikverpackungen

Dear Migros In my opinion, too much fruit and vegetables are still packaged in plastic - promotions such as the apricots or berries. Why can't we go back to cardboard baskets here? Thank you for a brief reply.

A lot is happening right now. Wait a while and then there will be a lot of cars with fuel cells. They are relying on hydrogen... Methane would be an even better solution, but they seem to want hydrogen. https://www.google.com/amp/s/nzzas.nzz.ch/amp/wirtschaft/auto-mit-methangas-faehrt-sogar-elektroauto-davon-ld.1449225

Hydrogen was already an issue years ago, but it was badly talked about, especially from Germany! It was suggested that an accident with hydrogen cars would trigger a huge explosion, blowing away houses in the surrounding area and leaving a crater on the road like a bomb impact!

But now, especially in Germany, hydrogen power plants are being built to store the energy that they have too much at night, which is sold cheaply to Switzerland, and during the day Switzerland sells it back again at a high price! lel methane, the question is how well this can be implemented, with the extraction of methane as well as the whole process behind it! I would rather bet on hydrogen because it is constant! Certainly both are better than electric cars! How the resources for the construction of electric cars could be better used! Fusion power plants are already built and in test phases! There would also be other technologies that could have been realized long ago, but the oil lobby is just strong! And free market economy, capitalism is so great, how you can legally suppress others with scrap and push them out of the market! Buy patents and never implement them!

Yup, the 3-liter car is in the drawer... It was around very early on.↵And yet hydrogen is not without its drawbacks. ↵But the Tesla has burned down more than once. ↵Hydrogen needs special filling stations - that's the problem, everything has to be redone. ↵And in the far north, where hydrogen is already "normal", it seems to work really well. It's extremely expensive to start with. ↵↵D is a bit crazy, shut down hard coal production and let lignite (3x worse than hard coal) continue to run. On top of that, approve even more extraction and, because they need it, give them millions of euros of taxpayers' money for free. ↵↵On the other hand, the environment, the environment. 😳↵There was just a program, great. Some villages near brown coal mining areas are to disappear. The owners are simply being expropriated.↵ Bad.

Quote: "Migros' well-known syrup bottles are now made from 100% recycled PET. This is the first time in Switzerland that the material cycle for PET bottles has been closed. This target is also to be achieved for mineral water by 2025. With immediate effect, mineral water bottles will consist of up to 60% recycled PET. This will save around 2,500 tonnes of new material every year." What is the argument against REUSABLE GLASS BOTTLES? The contents TASTE better in glass - and they do so SIGNIFICANTLY! Reusable glass is also possible for other contents: jam, syrup, mayo, mustard ........ many things are available in disposable glass or other packaging. The future would be: reusable!Migros would be in a much better position than everyone else. e.g. own brands in reusable packaging. M Budget, M Classic reusable and the "brands" would have to follow suit at some point and also offer reusable packaging. That would be a real step towards sustainability and something that "the others" don't have on their radar. They'll carry on like this until the customer goes on strike.

Reusable glass bottles would be ideal, but there are some problems! You would also have to get all the beverage manufacturers to fill glass bottles! That is a much bigger problem! Harassen service, is very cumbersome for shopping, a car almost mandatory, or with a larger cart! This is not really possible for everyone! In the delivery service such as Le-Shop, this would also change a lot! Everything would be much more expensive in glass bottles. For me it would be okay, because I don't drink 6x1.5L Coke or anything like that! I choose my soft drinks specifically! It used to be more common for a drinks dealer to deliver cups by car, but this service is probably not used as much! (or not in my region) Eptinger in cups directly or via a drinks retailer! I also agree with you about syrup, it would be elegant in glass! Then return system, which is just how much effort and cost, or just straight into the glass collection! Otherwise look for an alternative syrup! Glass should be a thing of the past, but the question is: would the majority appreciate it? or would the majority complain about the extra costs?
