I live in Europe but sometimes shop at Asian supermarkets here. One of the things I notice with almost everything I buy there is that plastic packaging feels a lot thicker than that on European products. Is there a rational reason for this? Are plastics simply cheaper? Or do people worry more that products might spoil? Are these different types of plastics?
Ive always thought organic produce on a Styrofoam plate wrapped in plastic was a bit ironic
Is that a thing? I guess I don’t see styrofoam much anymore for containers.
