Food packaging

Is plastic really necessary?

Supermarkets now put over 900,000 tonnes of plastic packaging on their shelves a year. Like most plastic, it finds its way into our oceans or goes into landfill. Are there any other solutions?

YESSSSS!!!!

Where can you shop 

There are many plastic free shops; however, there should be many more around the Mediterranean. The best places to shop are local farmers for fruit and veg. If you can we recommend shopping at refill stores which contain NO PLASTIC PACKAGING. To find out more about these shops click the link below. 

Why plastic, why not paper?

Over half of all food products are packaged in non decomposeable plastics. For example vegetables, pasta, snacks and sometimes fruit. Instead they should be packaged in materials such as paper, which believe it or not is biodigradeable.  To find out more click the link below to see which material should be used in shops.

What should shops introduce?

The more shops that introduce plastic free mechanisms the better.  By plastic free mechanisms, I mean drink dispensers, refill stores and more. Supermarkets should sell more Eco baggage such as silicone bags, reusable containers, bees wax wraps etc. If you are interested, click the link below to find out what more supermarkets and shops can do to go plastic free.
