Re: Légère's New Reed Cases (and Reeds)

Recycling is not a universal option. Even pre-covid, our local facility only handled type 2 plastic and now there's no recycling at all. And Paul, I didn't contact Legere out of any sense of "outrage", nor was I "criticizing" them. I know how ubiquitous small plastic objects are in the environment and I also know that the amount of plastic waste generated by reed production and packaging is minuscule proportionate to the total amount generated by the production of other consumer goods and industrial materials.

It's more about sending a message to manufacturers, to get them to start thinking differently about their products and what becomes of them when they enter the waste stream. If Legere gets letters from customers who voice their concerns, they might just possibly address those concerns in a future change to their product line. The idea of returning plastic to the manufacturer for recycling or re-use isn't that exotic; it's currently done with ink cartridges and some types of returnable packaging. The idea of using truly bio-degradable materials isn't unheard of either, it's just that manufacturers need to know that it's something their customers care about.
