> non-usage is moot given it’s in the stream already

You can apply backpressure to the stream by buying things not wrapped in plastic in the first place. It’ll take some time for the signal to have an impact, but if enough people selected less-packaged goods, the market would fix the supply chain over time.

Also, if you pick items with less packaging up-front, then you don’t need to do as much work sorting waste on the back end!
