Tf? Do you want less new sustainable industries? Bcs that's how you get less sustainable industries (in favor of current polluters/profit holders).

Yea.

According to the signatories, the upcoming law should “leave the choice open” to packaging alternatives that deliver the best overall environmental outcome in line with a life-cycle assessment.

Sounds like they are saying "let the market decide" and we know the market decides to prop up entrenched industries with subsidies and legislation instead of just letting them go the way of the dinosaur and allowing (or even helping!) sustainable industries take their place.
