Well, it seems a few of the supermarkets are getting in on the act.... we've Tesco and bags, Waitrose and their general policy with foods being organic/ fairtrade etc, Sainsburys and their organic box scheme (although I'm not convinced by this - one of the main reasons for a box scheme is that most of the produce is local and hasn't been through a major packaging plant etc...) and now Asda are getting in on the act. Their efforts:
"Wal-Mart-owned Asda has set a target of 2010 to stop sending waste produced by its 307 UK stores to landfill sites. In the future, everything will be recycled, re-used or composted.
It is also reviewing its own label packaging to reduce the amount of household rubbish it creates for consumers."
about time too for the amount of packaging on their own label goods.
and they are sponsoring some green awards:
"The Green Awards, which are backed by the United Nations Environment Programme, aims to showcase sustainable development through marketing and communications."
