I agree with you. Packaging could go back to what it was, pre 1975, with no loss of economic progress or convenience. If a product confronts society with long-term problems, then we need to restrict it by law.

I am told that plant based light packaging is a good alternative to soft plastics, and that needs to be looked at.

I recall an article talking about the newer packaging. It was amazing how much less food waste there was due to the better packaging. And that is better for the producer, probably better for the environment, and a better product for the consumer.

And who then decides that?

Do you really want the government to be inspecting every product looking for plastic?

I don’t. If you don’t want stuff packaged that way, don’t buy it.

The government gets involved too often in industry and market decisions and usually that causes increased costs to business and consumers. Laissez-faire.
