Interesting read, but I still think the sentence in the article which most resonates with me is:
> Buying without plastic is a privilege. It’s the pricier goods that are plastic free.
Perhaps people still need to lead the way by first buying the more expensive, plastic free alternatives, before we see a real change, but to me this is still the biggest kicker. The article also says, "frozen food doesn’t depend on plastic to keep it fresh or to protect it from spoils". Is that true? What about vegetables (peas, sweetcorn etc.) I'm probably being thick, but what else do they come bagged in?
- danw1979 7y agoI've never seen frozen vegetables in anything other than plastic bags. I read it that the OP was buying ready meals and other cardboard-packaged stuff only in the frozen aisle.
- dEnigma 7y agoFrozen vegetables here in Austria more often than not are available in little cardboard boxes. But a lot of them, I think mostly the larger sizes, are also sold in plastic bags.
- tonyedgecombe 7y agoThere are a couple of shops near us that sell loose frozen fruit and veg which you could put in your own containers. It is much more expensive though, there is nothing like this at Aldi.
