It’s a balancing act for sure. You have to understand what’s good for the climate isnt necessarily good for the environment. However I believe we have to understand that cleaning up the plastic in the world is imho harder than recapturing co2 since you can’t just build a big machine wherever you want and it does it’s job. Plastic you have to hunt down manually, and good luck doing that for micro plastics

But I don’t think your example works as well as eg plastic Vs glas bottles. Your energy dilemma can be solved simply by having photovoltaic panels and/or hooking the dishwasher up to a renewably generated hot water supply.

Also even in your calculations which I assume are not optimised 2000+ wash cycles is only like 6 years of use. And I still think that’s a no brainer.

Well for one: most of the things listed already have a solution:

Food? Glassware and Metal containers. Or Even reusable single type plastic containers, like a tupperware.

Sterile medical supplies already are packed in a paper bag. The ones that are in plastic actually aren’t.

Medicine can also be packed into glass and metal containers.

Beverages can be put in cans or Reusable Glass bottles or you simply drink tap water. (I know in some countries that’s not safe but it should be)

And honestly your cafeteria is the most ridiculous example. Get a dishwasher and use real cutlery. Or bring your own cutlery from home. (Is it actually a cafeteria or just a glorified break room?)

Ich würde mir so gerne ein Fairphone kaufen, aber die abwesenheit eines NFC zum mobilen Zahlen ist leider einfach ein Dealbreaker für mich. Muss ich halt auf das Fairphone 6 warten und hoffen. Wenigstens ist das SOC heutzutage so gut das ich keine Schmerzen hätte darauf unzusteigen. Der Preis ist ja auf die Lebenszeit gar kein Problem. Ich hoffe das die FP-macher genug einnehmen. Der Handymarkt schrumpft zwar ist aber ja immernoch riesig. Vorallem in DE werden sich bestimmt einige finden die sowieso nicht mit Handy zahlen wollen.

Edit: Ich hab extra noch nachgeschaut ob NFC dran steht. Hab ich wohl überlesen. Nächstes Handy? FairPhone!
