Trying to eradicate waste from the household is hard! I mean beside obvious stuff, like soap instead of shampoo, it's literally everywhere. I was just introduced to a more unexpected solution by 'Dimicator', who's work I'm following closely for some years now. Roland suggests waxed cloth even in the fridge and not just for or - a very solution:
