BBC news mentions that Sainsbury’s is (finally) going to use ‘compostible’ packaging for some of it’s products…why not all of them?
Still, it’s a good move – the sheer amount of packaging I accumulate in a week or so is ridiculous, particularly for fruit and vegetables which I immediately discard the packaging.
Looks like Ross Lovegrove’s vision of packaging made from food isn’t far away, what with the above news, the corn starch windows for sandwich boxes I get from M&S, and the water bottle made from corn starch I saw in Tescos…
I’ve made a conscious decision use my power as a consumer to buy ethical, sustainable and recyclable/bio-degradable products both personally and for my business.
Now I just need to go carbon neutral as well…
