"They love what we're doing, we send them samples, they love the flavours, they love the texture of the crisps, they love the packet, they love the story about us and then they'll come back to us and say 'well actually we're buying such and such a brand of crisps and we pay 6p a packet less'."
Another small business leading the way on environmentally-friendly packaging is Delphis Eco which produces cleaning products. "I believe we are the only company in the UK to have 100% recycled plastic in all of their packaging."With small businesses proving it is possible to move away from single use plastic packaging why haven't larger corporations done the same?
"We believe this is the most sustainable option for the UK in the long-term as it would allow material to be reused, rather than relying on single-use materials. In the meantime we have the Walkers recycling scheme which collects used packs and reuses the plastic in other ways."
We must look at ways to reduce the cost of eco packaging. It can be done where's there a will there's a way. Don't use packaging when food as it's own packaging ie bananas etc..
A question..... Fresh Meat in particular, does the kind of plastic wrappings determine the use by date.?
How?
Why does nobody ask where the composting is supposed to take place? There are no landfill sites where compostable packaging could degrade. It is not a solution!
People will be flocking to their local shops and supermarkets demanding they sell crisps at an extra 11 pence per bag. Yeah right !!!!!!!
Yes otherwise GretaThunberg will have a paddy!
As long as it is edible, I dont care about how it is packaged
“But each bag costs around 11p more to make than standard crisp packet, meaning it can be difficult to persuade shops to stock them.” That’s a good thing, they are not a healthy snack
Many of these people must have children. Don’t they care about their future?
No Shit. Stop producing single-use plastic and we’ll stop using it.
No shit. Money above all is their mantra. Meanwhile, billions in profits.
Could they avoid paying their executives hundreds of millions in bonuses too while they’re at it?
