You can easily supercede plastics by inventing a better material. But no I'm not going to carry water in fucking clay pots.
And if individually wrapped fruits means fewer of them end up in the dumpster then anti-plastic ideology would end up worse for the environement.
If you want to do somethibg to reduce plastic, just end the fishing industry instead of forcing us all to use disgusting paper straws for symbolic reasons.
glass. glass bottles. or, unlined reusable metal botles. they've been around forever as well.
Metal bottles need plastic liners not to conraminate and spoil their contents.
Glass containers waste tons of energy from extra transport, to needing so much water and remelting when the inevitably chip and and break.
We're using plastic because it's by a wide margin the best packaging material we have.

Why? That industry scrapes the bottom of the ocean floor, literally lol them fishies gonna die out, so don't worry about that. Some salmon have revolted though and decide to have their spawn on the ocean floor, which made it so that many fucking countries had to rewrite their nature curriculum, because generally salmon spawn upstream...
But they won't make that journey anymore. They getting the fuck away from humans. Hopefully the orcas will keep attacking boats though.
It's maybe their own way of protesting against plastic lol
Stupid ass human, GTFO the ocean.
