When will ND jump on the 100% post consumer recycled packaging train? I hate how many tubs I end up using. Even they they are a number 1, there’s a good chance they won’t be recycled.

Yes I was wondering this as well. For example, Rawrs algae oil is really comparable in price too other companies, and has more of the good stuff than others. John Motta is the owner. I bet if you were to contact him, he would be open to discussing.
I really think the move we must all make is to push for more of the recycling centers which create the packages be up and operating, before asking individual companies to do so with so little options and resources.
Government, big companies like dupont and fossil fuel companies, really need to do the right thing. But of course, since fossil fuels use is only going to lessen, these companies are pushing to make new types of plastics with their fossil fuels.

I 100% agree. We need to push for our local and state governments to prioritize recycling. It's crazy that it turned out we were mostly shipping our recycling to China to be disposed of. We think we are doing the right thing by recycling, then it turns out our governments are letting us down. The same goes for bringing back manufacturing from China. Our government needs to incentivize and provide grants to be able to do that, not just add tariffs that have to be passed on to consumers. It seems like our governments have shifted the onus on to individuals and companies without giving them any of the tools to affect real change!
