In a world where sustainability is playing an increasingly important role, many people are asking themselves: Should the vegan movement focus on more than just avoiding animal products? One current issue that is dividing opinion is the use of **plastic-free packaging** for vegan products. ### Why plastic-free? The production and disposal of plastic has an immense impact on our environment, from ocean pollution to the degradation of ecosystems. Vegans often choose this lifestyle for ethical and environmental reasons. Therefore, it seems only logical that the packaging of these products should also be designed to be environmentally friendly. ### Counter-arguments However, some consumers point out that switching to plastic-free packaging could result in higher costs, which will ultimately be passed on to consumers. In addition, not all alternative materials are lower-emission in production or 100% biodegradable. ### What do you think? - Should vegan brands be obliged to use plastic-free packaging? - Would you be willing to pay more for a product if it was packaged plastic-free? - Which materials do you think are the best alternatives to plastic and why?
