This report offers a first global snapshot of how supermarkets are either facilitating or hindering efforts to reduce plastic use. Their business practices in store can have a huge impact on how much plastic is used and taken home by their customers. Supermarkets wield significant power when it comes to influencing consumer behavior and they could be using it to facilitate reuse and plastic reduction practices.

OUR GOAL

Bring systemic change through a holistic approach tackling plastic pollution across the whole plastics value chain, focusing on prevention rather than cure, and providing effective solutions.
