Plastic packaging ban 'could harm environment'

Consumer pressure to end plastic packaging in shops could actually be harming the environment, a report says.

 

Firms are swapping to other packaging materials which are potentially even worse for the environment, an independent think tank warns.

Glass bottles, for instance, are much heavier than plastic so are far more polluting to transport.

Paper bags tend to have higher carbon emissions than plastic bags – and are more difficult to re-use.

The change in packaging materials has been prompted by concern from shoppers about the impact of plastic waste in the oceans.

 

Compostable

 

The group has been working with recycling organizations to survey shops’ anonymous responses to public anxiety about plastic polluting the oceans.

Global warming is getting serious and it is everybody’s duty to better protect the environment.

 

Do you have an idea about the compostable packaging?
