It seems though like many of the throwaway plastic containers I can find here like shampoo, water bottles, containers for sauces - NOT the Heinz ketchup bottle in my fridge though (which does say the body is recyclable but the cap is not) mention some percent of recycled plastic contents, from 90% to 20% in the items around me.

So maybe it's more expensive but there seems to be some kind of incentive for these companies, even if it's just marketing.



Food containers are tricky. Huel ready-to-drink seems to be 49%, because they need the inner coating to be virgin plastic.
