Mustard and mayonnaise now practically only come in aluminum tubes. The good glass jars and the mustard jars that could still be used have disappeared. People are always talking about sustainability, but Migros is going in the wrong direction!
Aluminum is not that much more harmful than other substances. But it is important to dispose of it correctly, or rather recycle it: aluminum tubes of mayo and mustard are therefore put in the aluminum collection.

Recycling / Disposal? If you don't see it anymore, that doesn't mean it's gone! The best thing is not to make waste, then nothing needs to be collected and reused. Aluminum is made from bauxite. It requires a huge amount of energy, for 1 kg of aluminum it needs 17 kWh, enough to keep a 5 watt LED lamp burning for 3,400 hours or 142 days (24 hours/day). Worst of all, the production process leaves corrosive red sludge contaminated with heavy metals, which is a danger to the environment.

I've read studies that glass vs. aluminum, for example, makes no difference in terms of eco-balance, but I don't feel like searching right now. Mhh, yes of course, it's best not to make any waste.... then I would just make mayo myself, it's no trick?

No manufacturer will be able to do without an aluminum tube, for hiking, the aluminum tube is and remains the best solution, you have to decide, I think it's great that Thomy even offers mini aluminum mustard and mayo in small packages.

Hello everyone Many customers prefer tube packaging to jars, e.g. because it is easier to portion. In order to best address customer needs, Migros offers mustard and mayonnaise in both glass jars and aluminium tubes. How environmentally friendly a packaging is can be assessed on the basis of packaging intensity (material and weight) and the packaging cycle (recycled material used and disposal). Packaging intensity: Glass packaging is many times heavier than tubes and therefore less efficient. Although the production of aluminum requires a lot of energy, much less material is used for the same amount of mustard / mayonnaise in a tube. Tube packaging is therefore more efficient than jars. Packaging cycle: Both types of packaging - aluminum tubes and disposable jars - are easily recyclable and in Switzerland both types of packaging can be recycled at municipal collection points. The recycling rates in Switzerland are also very high (aluminum packaging 85%; disposable jars 90%). However, disposable jars already contain a high proportion of recycled material and therefore perform slightly better in the packaging cycle than tubes. The bottom line is that aluminum tubes and disposable jars perform comparably - there is no clear winner from an environmental perspective. It is important that glass and aluminum packaging is recycled after use. This conserves valuable resources. I hope I have been able to help you with this information. best regards Sebastian

So there's mayonnaise and mustard in a tube here in Lucerne - maybe not in every store.

Small hint. The kWh figures are probably correct for the production of new aluminum (from ore). Recycling requires only 5% of the energy and can be reprocessed an infinite number of times, whereas glass (which also requires energy to produce or recycle) can only be reprocessed 50 times with the addition of new glass (see e.g. energie.ch).
how about using reusable containers instead, which you return cleaned and take a new one like the beer bottle depot
