Few terms and phrases dominated have dominated headlines like the term “single-use.” In fact, Collins Dictionary even named “single-use” the 2018 Word of the Year. Described as a product designed for one use, single-use products have pervaded our day-to-day lives.
However, for me personally, it was while traveling when I really noticed the problem of single-use plastic. I started to take note: the takeout coffee at the airport, the plastic cups and straws on the plane, the little bags of snacks, and the hotel plastic water bottles. This may not seem like much, but when you consider that more than a billion people travel annually (in pre-Covid-19 times), single-use waste adds up.
