The new industry-led management body, which includes representatives from major retailers such as Lidl, Co-op and Tesco, has been tasked with overseeing the scheme, due to launch in October 2027. However, representatives from several major retailers, including Tesco, Lidl and ASDA, had previously requested a delay to the scheme\u2019s implementation, citing financial concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Environmental advocates say this arrangement creates a clear conflict of interest, allowing the very companies responsible for vast plastic waste to influence the rules designed to regulate it. New research by Nature2030 exposes widespread public dissatisfaction with supermarkets\u2019 plastic practices. The survey found 78 percent of respondents believe retailers still use excessive single-use plastic, while 69 percent feel profits are prioritised over environmental responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Health concerns are also rising, with half of those surveyed worried about the impact of plastic on health. Nearly half (49 percent) said they would be more likely to shop at supermarkets that completely eliminate single-use plastics.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newfoodmagazine.com\/news\/251395\/supermarkets-plastic-waste-reduction-criticised\/\">New Food Magazine<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/supermarkets-allowed-to-mark-their-own-homework-on-plastic-waste-campaigners-warn\/\">Supermarkets allowed to \u201cmark their own homework\u201d on plastic waste, campaigners warn<\/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":[22,1],"tags":[4000,575,761,3540,655],"class_list":["post-140041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-yleinen","tag-campaign","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastic-waste","tag-supermarket","tag-yleinen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140041","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=140041"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140041\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140041"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140041"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
