Yes, I also think that we should try to use less plastic. A bottle or two per year isn't going to win the battle though. I am much more concerned about other disposal staff which we use daily. Starting with bottled water - which I try to use as little as possible. But there reused (not recycled) glass bottles are the way to go, unfortunately they are less common than disposable plastic bottles. At least here in Germany there is a 20ct deposit per bottle which you get back if you return it to the shop. So it is less likely to end up in nature.

However suggesting to replace the ready made sauce with a homemade one is likely to create more waste. As I would have to go (drive) out to get the ingredients, which probably would be packed individually. I am cooking frequently enough and quite like it, but it is horrible how much waste home-cooking generates.

Yea, I didn't suggest to recreate the exact sauce, just picking a few useful ingredients, like chili peppers (It's really not worth adding salt and sugar like it seems to have). In my case, shopping is done with my bike, and fruit peels and seeds will go in my city compost or in the ground, I also collect fruit/vegetables wastes from markets
