Less packaging is on the way...
We all want to do our bit for the environment but what is being done about packaging? Well, lots of changes are taking place and you can find out more below.
Whilst packaging has an important role to play in getting products safely from the factory to the consumer, there is always scope to do more. Helping to do this are over 30 retailers, brands and suppliers who represent 92% of the UK grocery sector.
These companies have signed up to an agreement, called the Courtauld Commitment to find new ways of reducing packaging and food waste across the whole supply chain.
Since the beginning of this agreement in July 2005, the signatories have successfully slowed the growth of packaging and are actively supporting the Love Food Hate Waste campaign. To find out more about the work of this voluntary agreement and the targets that the signatories have set, click here.
Inroads are also being made into the Home Improvement and DIY sector.
