The research, to be launched during London&#8217;s 7th annual Circular Economy Week, shows that the packaging being used in the capital has a carbon footprint equivalent to half of the capital&#8217;s transport emissions.<\/p>\n<p>The report, titled &#8216;London&#8217;s packaging footprint&#8217;, reveals several alarming statistics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The packaging used in London generates 4.1 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually.<\/li>\n<li>Plastic packaging is the biggest contributor, responsible for around 1.9 million tonnes of CO2eq a year.<\/li>\n<li>Approximately 2.2 million tonnes of packaging is used and discarded every year in London, equivalent to almost 250kg per person.<\/li>\n<li>Only 44 per cent of household packaging waste and 33 per cent of commercial packaging waste is recycled.<\/li>\n<li>Visitors account for 30 per cent of consumer packaging use in London but 55 per cent of packaging thrown away in street bins, hotels, restaurants, and offices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The report identifies three possible levers for change that could lead to reductions of up to 23 per cent in London&#8217;s packaging footprint:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Increasing recycled content in plastic packaging by up to 60 per cent could result in a 7.8 per cent reduction in emissions.<\/li>\n<li>Reducing or eliminating excess packaging through reuse and refill schemes or removing fruit and vegetable packaging could potentially lead to a 5.8 per cent reduction in emissions.<\/li>\n<li>Increasing collection and recycling rates to 70 per cent for packaging overall, and 55 per cent for plastic packaging specifically, could lead to a 9.1 per cent reduction in emissions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/resource.co\/article\/londons-packaging-footprint-equivalent-half-capitals-transport-emissions\">Resource<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-598\/\">London&#8217;s packaging footprint equivalent to half of capital&#8217;s transport emissions<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,8661,1108,829],"class_list":["post-133926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-footprint","tag-london","tag-packaging"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133926\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
