Stop manufacturers producing plastic packaging for fruit and vegetables

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Please encourage people to buy fruit & vegetables at a low cost WITHOUT PLASTIC PACKAGING!
We buy our fruit & veg with ‘fast track’. We weigh it & put it straight in our ‘bag for life’ bag. Just a paper receipt & no other plastic. My wife bought 6 loose satsumas for 80 pence cheaper than ‘The Taste The Difference’ plastic netted ones.

Why it was rejected
