Living For a greener, healthier life

In the ight against

plastic pollution, Waitrose
rolled out its ‘reillable zones’ and The

Body Shop reintroduced its recycling scheme.
Yet, a new report shows plastic has risen by more
than 900,000 tonnes in the past year, despite the
pledge to slash packaging. But now, recent studies
have found an unexpected alternative that could
help reduce single-use plastic – grass! Researchers
have been working with letover farming materials
to create containers for fresh fruit and vegetables.
Removing unnecessary plastic from the
supply chain will not only help save the
planet, but will make recycling
a lot easier.
