On supermarket shelves around the world, fresh food products are wrapped in plastic. The packaging makes food look fresh and long-lasting. But a new study from Friends of the Earth Europe and Zero Waste Europe says plastic does not actually keep food fresh longer, and so does not help reduce food waste. In fact, it can actually increase the waste because customers may end up buying more than they need.
“What the study shows is that between 2004 and 2014, we’ve seen a 40 to 50 percent increase in plastic packaging, and we’ve seen a doubling in food waste.”
By the end of the study in 2014, annual household food waste amounted to around 30 million tons with the average person tossing out more than 173 kilograms of food a year. To reduce waste, some stores have been urging customers to change the way they take their food home and store it. In north London, Planet Organic has opened a bottle food section called “Unpackaged” where people can fill up their own reusable containers.
“We set up the first zero waste shop in 2006, and we’ve definitely seen a growing trend toward shopping without packaging. But it’s certainly been within the last three or four months since all of the campaigns about plastic in the oceans have really fired up the public imagination, and we’ve got a 40% upturn in sales since Christmas so the public’s really on board with it now.”
But the British Plastics Federation says there’s still a role for its product. “No one has more of a problem with plastic waste than the British plastics industry. I mean we absolutely welcome this report and its findings. We’ll look at it in detail and take it away and see what lessons there are to be learned. If you look around you, your plastic packaging, I think we can all agree ultimately makes food fresher. It’s more hygienic and it’s healthier.”
The study acknowledges that plastic has a role to play in food packaging, but adds that as we become more aware of the damage plastic does to our planet, it’s time for the industry to find alternatives.
Question 22. What does the new study suggest?
Question 23. What does “Unpackaged” refer to according to the speaker?
Question 24. What happened in 2006 according to the speaker?
Question 25. How do people from the British Plastics Federation react to this report?
