Packaging - Too much is a pain - Some changes are great
http://www.letsrecycle.com/packaging/regulations/Morrisons and the other supermarkets now have their card yoghurt pots marked up as "card - widely recycled" - yay! (the lid is recyclable with foil)Sainsbury's courgettes which used to be packed in threes in a plastic tray inside a plastic film wrap have lost their tray - yay! (but naked would be even better and can buy them singly at the greengrocer) Sainsbury's 3 stainless steel scourers are packed in a tray with separate 'cups' and then a plastic film wrap - why? They're not pastries and delicate. Big thumbs down!Sainsbury's potatoes (or some of them) come in a plastic bag that is net on the front and is recyclable in larger stores with carrier bags - yay!Tesco's sizzle steaks are packed in an enormous plastic box. They could fit twice if not three times as many in that box. Big thumbs down! (Memo must go to a butcher's to avoid all that plastic)
