bans of single use plastics like straws, utensils, and bags
reducing the amount of packaging materials used to ship and protect products
using edible cups and food containers so everything can be consumed
using reusable bottles and cups instead of disposable items for water and coffee

Explanation:

• Raising taxes to increase consumer goods' price may not directly reduce waste as people might still buy but waste less due to cost. However, it's a less - direct and more economic - policy - based approach.
• Bans on single - use plastics (straws, utensils, bags) directly reduce disposable waste.
• Reducing packaging materials cuts down on packaging waste.
• Edible cups and containers eliminate waste from those items.
• Using reusable bottles and cups instead of disposable ones reduces waste from beverage containers.
