Packaging

mirry

I have just been watching Gmtv, they were saying supermarkets have a long way to go with reducing packaging.
I purchased Tescos cheap foil this week and it came with no box and was just wrapped in a thin bit of plastic wrapper.

We dont buy ready meals but it has got me thinking....
what other things could the super markets do ?

I would like to see refilling options.

Maybe a "scoop" option where you fill up bio degrable bags with your choice of washing powder or cereal.

or any other ideas ?

Scoop shops used to be the big thing in the 80's, however I believe a lot of them were closed down due to hygiene issues. Perhaps thats why a lot of places now only do things like pet food in the big bins.

I'm not sure that II'd buy things like cereal if it were loose, I don't even buy pick and mix sweets cos I don't know who has had their hands in it :lipsrseal

Washing powder and stuff like that I probably would buy though.

yes I know what you mean, I would be very particular in what i purchased however not everybody feels the same about these things.
Because I have a son with serious acute allergys Id be worried about cross contamination but for thing like washing powder, flour , sugar, tea leaves, coffee, pasta ect ,Id buy it because if it bakes in an oven or has to be boiled then any germs would be killed.
