Background
Plastic pollution is an environmental issue. Despite growing awareness, UK supermarkets package large quantities of fresh produce in single-use plastic. Contributing to plastic waste, which ends up in landfills, incinerators or our environment. There are sustainable alternatives, including compostable or reusable containers & loose produce options. The UK must follow in the footsteps of other countries, to reduce plastic waste, protect our environment, & lead the way to a sustainable future.
