Packaging

Almost all supermarket food today comes in paper or plastic containers. Some of this “packaging” is necessary. It keeps the food clean and fresh. It also makes it last longer. But some packaging isn't necessary at all. It's just there to make the food look better.

Did you know....?

1. In Britain, over 75,000 people work in packaging factories.

2. The UK packaging industry sells £4 billion of paper and plastic containers every year.

3. 28% of domestic rubbish is packaging.

4. 5% of ail Britain's energy goes into making packaging.

Here are the ways to beat the throw-away society. All of them are cleaner and cheaper than burying rubbish.

The Green Answers

Throw Away Less Rubbish

In Denmark, for example, it's illegal to sell drinks in cans. And it's not just governments which can produce less rubbish. It's ordinary people, too. For example, anyone can decide to

1) buy products with as little packaging as possible;

2) use and throw away fewer carrier bags;

3) waste less paper.
