What the petition asks
I want to help protect the world. So, I would like to ask you to make supermarkets use less plastic packaging.
Only one third of UK’s plastic food packaging is recycled. Around 40% of plastic is used in packaging and the UK generates around 2.4 million tonnes per year of packaging waste.
