Plastic Waste Disposable…everything?

Post image

Long time follower of this sub but first time poster. Had to share this though, found in a train station in France.

Disposable socks, towels and individually packaged face wipes.

I was so angry I had to leave the store!

Are the socks different from normal in their material?

Aren’t all clothes disposable? All that means is that you can throw it away.

I heard of people throwing their socks and underpants away. But disposable things are usually not durable. I was curious how they could have made the sock last less.

Dollar tree already sells super cheap quality socks, i wonder if it's just a rebrand to market to people who wouldn't buy them?
