War on Waste - food packaging study
Published by LGA
A study of food packaging conducted to inform the LGA War on Waste campaign investigated the food packaging levels and composition on 29 common food items at eight supermarkets. This third survey of food packaging found in a typical basket of shopping that almost 40 per cent of supermarket food packaging cannot be easily recycled. Excessive and unnecessary packaging contributes to the estimated £1.8bn councils will spend on landfill tax between 2008 and 2011.
