US Packaging Standards
Idea-If the USA set down specific standards for the materials that are allowed to be used in the packaging of the products we buy (without a disposal tax) the manufacturing world would be pushed hard to adhere to those standards. We could require that all packaging materials were non-polluting and bio-degradable. While the manufacturing cost would go up, as well as the retail price, the burden would be spread evenly and jobs and investment would likely increase in the packaging industry.
