During qualifying, teams are limited in what compounds they can use in dry conditions. Teams are required to use the hard compound during Q1, the medium compound during Q2, and finally they can use the softs during Q3.

"This means a reduction - from 13 to 11 - of the sets of dry tyres that each driver has available for the entire event, therefore decreasing the environmental impact generated by the production and transport of the tyres." Seems like a good reason to me.

This is just distracting from the fact that logistics has the most environmental impact by far.

Honestly if they really want to reduce tire waste they should not force Pirelli to make them degrade more on purpose.

Yes, it would be great if the tires could also be used longer and more often.

But I don't get your point regarding logistics: this leads to 2 tire sets / driver that don't need to be transported and produced, right? So it should be a good first step into reducing the impact of production and transportation.

not distracting from it, transporting tires is literally part of the logistics footprint of F1 which they are reducing.

It would be a lot better if they just reduced the number of tyres and left it up to the teams to manage. This feels completely arbitrary and removes the spectacle of seeing all the cars at their fastest.
