What the petition asks

With the growth of online shopping and with the current crisis surrounding sustainable materials. Companies should clearly state on their product pages whether the product is sustainably sourced or easily recycled. The modern day consumer would like to know if what they are purchasing,is sustainable
Society is becoming increasingly conscious about our environmental impact and sustainable living.

Look at your average supermarket online shopping websites. The majority of these sites do not have any information about whether their product’s packaging is recyclable.

Look at any cosmetic brands where you can purchase online, these also lack the same information.
