What the petition asks
Most packaging that is being used in supermarkets is only a quarter to half full of the product. This is to make you think that you’re buying more than you’re getting. (Cardboard box) We have received a item no bigger than 5 x 4 Inches, but the box it came in was roughly 18 x12 x14 Inches.
All companies to use no more than 10% of the packaging that is required for packing of the product.
