Total CO2 will go up if we tried that. If we were smarter about reuse, like say, washing processing and resealing glass containers instead of crushing and remelting them (at best) we might be better. But plastics are much lighter, space efficient and durable. Which makes them less carbon intensive in many cases.
Really we need less one time use or single serving containers of any material. Which isn’t likely unless society collapses and we have to live in local communes to survive.
