@rebbel There was only ”(Cigarette) (filter tips)” when I responded to your last post.
Automotive parts, like distributor caps and rotors.
Distributor caps, rotors, dash parts, shift and radio knobs, carbon canister shells, vacuum fittings, senders, wire terminals, valve stem caps, gas and oil caps. ... and many other parts both internal and external.
@kritiper You mean you can live without all those items? Because that’s what the OP is about. I’m not sure if I made it clear,
If you don’t own a car you can.
Invasive medical devices.
@Lightlyseared But invasive medical devices are needed in (most?) places, aren’t they?
@flo It gets put in the vehicle once and only once. If it fails it gets replaced. One use.
@kritiper Only if people don’t reuse them, on other cars or other things.
Disposable diapers, toothpicks, Q-tips, toilet tissue, baby wipes, latex/vinyl gloves, incontinence supplies, feminine products, butane lighters, paper towels, paper and styrofoam cups, and others.
