      Health of humans is always excluded from plastic reduction laws and for good reason.

        Yes, I would rather healthcare and science used 5x as much plastic as they do already and everyone else had to go completely wasteless than try to put any undue limits on them.

      Tbf, I remember the times we reused everything, even tubes.

      And it was a mess and there is so much evidence that the whole process of reusing is even worse for the environment.
