Yeah, I need to read it.
With less racing, I've been slowly weening myself off pre-packaged energy stuff, when I do buy powders and liquids it's typically the biggest bags or bottle I can find, we often carry bagels in foil instead of bars, etc. but we also use a shitload of plastic even still.
I'm currently using 1kg maltodextrin and 1kg fructose powders but they're still sent in plastic bags so not sure of a way around that other than ditching the sugar water altogether.

I'm into this, it's something I've thought about a few times on various audaxes etc. 100-odd riders all buying a plastic volvic once every 100km soon adds up.
Hardest bit in my head is those garage stops at 2am when you've run out of water and there's no toilet with tap, but might join in with this.
