This generation's recycling logo seems to be eco-friendly materials.

We bought some eco "bamboo" plates for our toddler because he keeps breaking ceramic plates. But they just mix some bamboo fibres into the plastic. It does feel a bit nicer to touch than normal plastic, but I'm not sure how it is more eco-friendly. It's still plastic that's going to end up in a dump.

(That being said, I don't worry too much about the material of something that gets years of use)

You can use shellac-finished wooden plates and bowls. Biodegradable, natural, doesn’t break, lightweight, carbon-neutral material.

Does my head in seeing people put eco plant based labels on disposable ldpe packaging.

It’s still the same plastic even if you change the feedstock.

Logos. Plural. At least in the UK.

Having just looked at boxes in my kitchen I counted 5 different logos that look the same at first glance, except they're not. 3 arrows with a number in the middle, one circular arrow, 3 arrows with no number, and they're the ones I remember.

It's a hard one because cardboard containers and wooden utensils are objectively better. But clearly also serve the interests of reducing political will for legislation against plastics.

A lot of cardboard containers are lined with plastic, and come with plastic lids. So while it's arguably less plastic, it's still too much plastic...
