Trader Joe's at least has made an effort to cut down on the use of plastic packaging for their produce. So in this way, at least plastic consumption will be reduced at the consumer level, even if only for Trader Joe's shoppers. I always felt bad purchasing from them purely for the amount of packaging that was involved.

- ac29 8y agoHere's basically the entire article: they will "no longer offer single-use plastic bags to customers, replace the plastic produce bags and Styrofoam packages with compostable alternatives, and avoid using compounds like BPA in packaging". Trader Joes has always been semi-unique as a grocery store in that a reasonably high percentage of their produce comes as a multipack on a paper/stryofoam tray wrapped in plastic. It always struck me as wasteful as well.
