Encouragingly, consumers are continuing to try and make their habits count, with 58% of respondents stating they have endeavoured to cut back on single-use packaging in the last year.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the strong public support, systemic barriers are said to remain. 25% of respondents reported a lack of available options, while 20% cited a lack of reusable and refillable options for their preferred brands. Only 36% felt comfortable asking for a reusable bottle to be refilled in a caf\u00e9, restaurant or pub when they haven\u2019t made a purchase, suggesting businesses need to make these services \u201cmore welcoming and explicit\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Everyday habits such as using reusable shopping bags (68%) and water bottles (58%) have become ingrained in consumer habits. 76% reported that they\u2019d be likely to use refill or reusable packaging for food cupboard items such as pasta, rice, cereals and coffee. 69% stated they would use refillable options for drinks including juice and spirits. City to Sea is calling for \u201clegally binding and ambitious targets\u201d for reusable packaging and collaboration across retailers to see a shift in the packaging sector away from single use.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.letsrecycle.com\/news\/half-of-uk-consumers-want-single-use-plastic-ban\/\">Let&#8217;s Recycle<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-710\/\">Half of UK consumers want single-use plastic ban<\/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":[1324,575,5692,1174,579],"class_list":["post-139483","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-consumer","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastic-ban","tag-recap-en","tag-uk"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139483","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=139483"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139483\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
