Government set to ban single-use plastic plates and cutlery in England

[Crepuscular]

17. Multiple uses

We don't get takeout very often, although that increased slightly with Covid but I have to say I love the plastic containers that the Chinese place that we order from, use. Heavy duty plastic with sealing lids, multiple shapes and sizes, they are great for sorting and storing nuts, bolts, washers, screws, etc. in the workshop. Plastic cutlery gets saved and re-used for spreading epoxy, glue and other liquids (although popsicle sticks work best for that, they get saved, as well).
