Dude 7 1/2 pounds of pickle spears per week is ridiculous.

And maybe switch to glass ketchup bottles?

Glass isn't always the solution, for one its a lot heavier than plastic so there are added carbon costs of moving glass. Also only about 35% of glass is recycled in the US.

Looking into into making our own ketchup and serving that way.

Pickle spears come in 5 gallon buckets which are about 2.5 pounds each. We order around 3 every week so that's where that high number comes from. We usually save the buckets and give them out to the construction guys, but they only get one or two uses out of them because they keep coming back for more.

Yeah, I question where they got these numbers. 5 pounds of coffee creamers sums like it would be a lot.

We go through 2040 creamers a week. Each empty package is 1.2 grams so a total of 2448g converts to 5.39 lbs.

We order 5-6 cases of creamer a week.
