Many years ago, I took my son to a fast good restaurant in Europe. They charged extra for a little pack of ketchup.

But it often requires an agreement amongst operators to stand up to what is right! If that fails, government regulation kicks in...
The fast food example was probably Germany. It stems from the high taxes they have on plastic packaging but I completely agree with the charging! It ends wastage, and is better for the environment. I would guess in the USA, at least a third of those ketchup sachets go unopened into the garbage. Why are you often given 5 sachets for 1 portion of fries anyhow?
The same goes for free plastic carrier bags in grocery stores!
