Disposable plastic should be illegal. It's cheap, but only because of all the externalized costs.

In Finland 93% of plastic, glass and aluminium drink containers are returned back to the store and recycled into new ones.

thankfully if plastic is gone we wouldn't be left with a majority of the hassle to deal with in the public sector, i.e. what another commenter called "externalized costs"

Or they should be made so expensive that they only make sense when there really is no alternative.
