Curious about this - and I mean it in a 100% sincere way - how much waste does Blue Apron generate, and why is it unreasonable? How does it stack up to other common forms of waste generated by households?
There are other services that have more of a focus on reusable containers but I have to wonder how much boils down to virtue signaling. I'm a bit skeptical that a reusable insulated package that UPS needs to make an extra trip to pickup is really that much less wasteful than what BA does.
Why would you say this? When I worked in restaurants, I remember very little waste (other than actual food waste and spoilage, of which there was tons.)
Well yes. Not plastic bags but the overall level of wastage. (To say nothing of the energy/materials overhead associated with operating a restaurant.)
I have nothing against restaurants. I'm just saying that Blue Apron packaging waste is pretty small potatoes compared to a lot of other ways of obtaining food.
