@Gorgritch_umie_killa that’s a bit confusing in that it talks about #Aldi leading the reduction rate, then plateauing. Surely that indicates they went hard on reducing and now they’ve slowed because there’s not much fat left to trim? Or am I misunderstanding it.
Hmm, yeah i’m not sure either.
After a quick dig, maybe i’ll read the actual report later on, i found this, Unwrapped: Plastic use in Australian supermarkets

I’d said to my partner, i thought the Aldi shops had more quantities more plastic. Surprised to see theres some information backing that up.
I’m not from Australia, but I’ve been trying to reduce my plastic intake pretty harshly for the past few weeks, and yeah, the shop I go to makes a bigger difference than I thought.
In some shops, I just cannot buy noodles, bread and juice without plastic, for example. And well, I’ve switched to more veggies, fruits, beans and whatnot, because those tend to not be packaged or they come in glass jars, and there it’s just as well that some shops just have a better selection.
We can get bread and juice in paper and cardboard packaging, but I’ve never heard of noodles in anything other than plastic. Almost all our noodle products come from Asia, so food miles is probably a bigger variable than the wrapping.
