      Micro plastics and forever chemicals must be a lot worse than we’ve been led to believe.

      It’s a good idea, though I do confess to having taken home a couple of sachets of English Mustard from our local from time to time, as if we get a jar, it has inevitably gone off by the time I want to use it.

      I like the supermacs ketchup pump with the paper cups, the ketchup plastic sachets can be a pain to open at times.

      Now do multi bags of crisps with tiny amounts in each bag.

      Fiddling while Rome burns…

      Keep the masses entertained with inane tripe.

      > It’s likely there will be some exemptions from the new rules, which kick in on 1 January 2030

      Kicked into the long grass.

      Give the supply chains a year to work it out and this time next summer it’s enforced. And that’s being generous.

      Hah! Now we will finally get ketchup dispensers in McDonalds! The stinginess ends here!

      A step on the right direction, but the absolute worst plastic waste I’ve seen was at Christmas with the boxes of crisps, all contained in a plastic bag inside in the box.

      Hope that includes individually wrapped sugar cubes. That’s just a pointless waste

      I’m pleased. McDonalds etc give you a massive handful of ketchup packets, and it’s completely unnecessary. I try and keep them but I end up not using them.

      Next get rid of all fruit packed in plastic foil. I’ve lived in Ireland for a few years now and I still find it crazy how much plastic is used here to sell fruit when in Poland where I’m originally from it’s mostly loose (apart from oranges that are in those plastic nets) and you just weigh it. Why would you need plastic for apples?

      Great , basically a ban on any plastics containers would be great
      And if it is essential for the product it’s up to the manufacturers to make their case and prove that it can’t be done another way

      If they’re going to do another meaningless gesture towards “solving” climate change can they at least bring back plastic straws?

      Try a tax based on tare-to-net ratio. You will eliminate all unnecessary shite packaging and shrinkflation at the same time.

      Was in Mumbai recently. 
      Lets just say whatever we so isnt significant. A waste of time. Like putting a plaster on someone who just had major surgery. 

    24. NopePeaceOut2323 on

      Thank fuck, I can never open those ketchup packets.

      They fucking laughed at me when I said I was opening up a bio degradable sauce packaging factory.

      You’re gonna see a lot more of Handy Squirts Ltd let me tell ye! Laughed I tell ye!

      Who’s laughin’ now?!!

      “Handy Squirts – Empty your little bags of joy all over the place!

      “Handy Squirts – Filled with pleasure, emptied with pleasure”

      (We’re still working on a catchy motto….)

      Need to rollback to plastic straws though. Paper straws have been a disaster.

    28. Devore_dude on

      Nothing about the billionaires taking needless private jet jaunts yet no? Ok then.

    29. sufi42 on

      Every time I go shopping there’s more and more plastic for no reason, it’s a joke, and so disheartening.100% agree, wax paper and less wrapping is the way forward

    30. Significant_Stop723 on

      Interestingly where I grew up, there was paper bags used for everything, bakery goods, fruit and veg, even butcher counters (yes, before plastic tray fucking every meat) used a grease proof paper. Don’t even get me started on single use plastic bottles and the likes. So much could be done with a bit of a will. 

    32. SNLCOG4LIFE on

      I hope this also extends to having beer served in plastic cups.

    34. RJMC5696 on

      Himself isn’t going to be happy not having our car loaded with emergency sauce packets

    35. ScenicRavine on

      I love wax paper, id pay an extra 5c or whatever it costs to have stuff wrapped in that instead of plastic

    37. AdmiralRaspberry on

      Is it before of after the one time used vapes are finally banned? 😂 Because that’s been promised for a while now.

    38. rmp266 on

      Oh great! How many carbon spewing private jets landed in Venice for that bald cunts wedding again
