It hopes that, if the government intervenes, it can unlock a transition at scale in which adjustments to packaging will not put individual retailers at a disadvantage, creating a level playing field. The retailer recommends starting with products for which multiple retailers share the same supplier and other, similarly \u201cachievable\u201d adjustments.<\/p>\n<p>This aligns with WRAP\u2019s warning that the UK Plastic Pact\u2019s target of selling 30% of fruit and vegetables loose by 2025 could be missed if new regulation is not introduced. Reporting that only one in five fruit and vegetable products are sold loose, it is pushing for a similar ban to those introduced in France and Spain \u2013 and asserts that, if only apples, bananas, and potatoes were sold loose, an annual rate of 8,800 tonnes of plastic packaging could be saved every year.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of this year, Tesco joined forces with Keep Sea Blue \u2013 setting its sights on keeping 500 tonnes of discarded plastics out of the ocean by implementing recycled plastics into its fresh fish packaging. It then made a similar move to recover and recycle plastic trays into its chilled ready meal packaging via a PET recycling initiative designed in partnership with Faerch.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/packagingeurope.com\/news\/packaging-ban-for-fruit-and-veg-would-level-the-playing-field-in-tackling-retail-waste-says-tesco\/10663.article\">Packaging Europe<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-441\/\">Packaging ban for fruit and veg would \u2018level the playing field\u2019 in tackling retail waste, says Tesco<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[575,12437,829,4324,5865],"class_list":["post-119033","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-fruit","tag-packaging","tag-retail","tag-vegetables"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119033"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119033\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
