There are a few supermarkets around the world that offer the use of bringing your own containers to refill products and close the loop a little more to create less waste.
As described in the following video, you can’t run a linear system on a finite planet indefinitely. We’d need 4 to 5 planets worth of resources, if we kept consuming at the current rates & incineration creates the following super toxin problem:
