It's always good to have less waste and single-use items. At the same time, maybe it's better to use the oil in it's processed form (plastic) before burning it[1] instead of burning it right away[2]? On the go, now you're forced to pick up a 500g single-use glass bottle instead of a 20g plastic bottle. Only 1-10k tons of German trash ends up in the ocean from 50M tons and I don't think plastic spoons are a material % of that.

It's not that I love plastic, it's just the optimal choice for food packaging now. Saying "I don't use plastic spoons" while following current consumption standards makes no dent whatsoever.
