This is the mentality that is creating poison planet. Bad mentality.

I'd love to be able to go to a grocer and just refill my milk jug and my soap bottle and my beer growler but that's just not available to me.

Well, there are a few breweries that will fill my growler. Priorities.

As long as waste is being responsibly managed it will not poison the planet.

It is not being responsibly managed, it is poisoning the planet. You can defer responsibility to others such as the producers and recyclers, and I think we should.

But it doesn't mean we can't control what we buy and throw away as well, especially if we know better which we do.

Then this is the problem that needs to be fixed. Ewaste only contributes to a couple percent of overall waste. Saving just ewaste doesn't stop the vast majority of waste entering the landfill.
