Supermarket Audit

Supermarkets can influence how brands package their products, and how much plastic consumers end up being exposed to when shopping for everyday products.

They are key players in the plastic pollution lifecycle. Supermarkets have a huge opportunity to help reduce plastic pollution but currently they have largely avoided responsibility for their role in the crisis.

There’s a lack of information on supermarket business practices around the world, and without information, we can’t demand they do better. By surveying how supermarkets are either increasing plastic pollution or helping reduce it, we can see what best practices exist, and what practices need to become things of the past.

By auditing stores around the world we can see which companies are leading the way and pressure others to follow their example.
