Why not a recyclable cardboard tube like oats come in sometimes? Probably easier for logistics too when packaging (of course retooling all the equipment from like 1988 wouldnt be easy but its one and done)

The bags aren't much better in this regard, but anything that easily topples over is going to add likeliness of spills. Also, those tubes are probably more expensive than the bags or the plastic.

They mean a cardboard tube that's recyclable. You know like cardboard, in a tube shape.

You know what a pipe made of metal looks like, well like that but not made of metal, made of cardboard. Imagine a flat bit of cardboard, in a tube shape.

This was helpful, but could you maybe create a diagram? Or perhaps an interpretive dance performance?
