  • Biodegradable? - Yes
  • Cruelty-free? - No
  • Vegan? - No

I am not sure what to think about that.

also with it coming from an animal product it's pretty safe to say that it will be resource intensive.

Plastic is easily more green than carnist production. Not sure why they think people would want to eat the packaging in the first place either.

so that when vegans take a bite out of the package of their raw tofu they can eat it all the same 😎

One benefit of this non-plastic packaging is there's no microplastic pollution which might become a much bigger problem in the future. Not particularly useful from a CO2 perspective tho.

There's probably better alternatives tho, I've seen some made from fungi, which I think are even water resistant and not just oxygen resistant like this milk thing, and then there's aluminium, but that's not transparent.

Edit: Btw, I know of "transparent aluminum" (like in Star Trek lol!) but that's a ceramic, no plastic properties.

Fewer plastics means less shit for animals to die choking on
