Introduce legislation to eliminate plastic packaging in supermarkets
The UK Government must introduce legislation making plastic free transition plans mandatory for UK supermarkets.
UK supermarkets currently generate 900,000 tonnes of plastic packaging each year. Some supermarkets have trialled and announced plastic reduction measures, but we need industry-wide action across the UK. By ditching plastic packaging, supermarkets have the power to lead the way in dramatically reducing the amount of single-use plastic produced.
