They don't actually have alternatives in the single-use realm. The result must be an end to it, bankruptcy from their perspective.

If we replace plastic containers with containers that are paper covered in PFAS and similar substances, we're not solving the problems.

I mean if they have to dispose of it properly then they are either going to try it on with PFAS coated paper and realise there's no way to get rid of it or they are going to find better alternatives. It hinges on real penalties, fines for companies, fines and jail time for CEO and wider C-suite for breaches.

If we know that there are basically no alternatives, then we don't have to waste time and misery chasing after each CEO and corporation in detail.
