03 Sep 2020 --- UK supermarkets could halve their plastic waste footprints by zeroing in on the 54 most problematic grocery products, a landmark Greenpeace report has revealed. The NGO urges supermarkets to eliminate all non-recyclable packaging, including laminates and films, and embrace reusable systems. From the 54 categories identified, transitioning to eco-friendly packaging in just 13 categories could reduce plastic by approximately 35 percent. The 13 categories are bottled water, fizzy drinks, milk, still drinks and fruit juices, household cleaning products, detergents and softeners, sports and energy drinks, rice, vegetables and salads, fruit, fruit juice, dilutables (cordials and squash drinks), and bath and shower products.
