Major Milestone: UK Businesses Slash Plastic Packaging by 40%
In a significant advancement toward sustainability, businesses participating in WRAP’s UK Plastics Pact have successfully reduced their use of unnecessary and non-recyclable plastic packaging by an impressive 40% compared to 2018. This initiative, which counts major corporations such as Unilever, Nestlé, and PepsiCo among its supporters, aims to eliminate problematic plastic from the supply chain.
The latest findings emerged from WRAP’s second annual progress report on the UK Plastics Pact, which was released on December 8th. The report showcases the collective efforts of over 150 organizations that have pledged to transform their packaging practices. By sharing critical data with WRAP, these companies are actively contributing to a more sustainable packaging landscape.
This reduction in plastic waste not only highlights the commitment of these corporations to environmental responsibility but also sets a precedent for other industries to follow suit. As the movement against plastic pollution gains momentum, it provides a hopeful glimpse into a future with less plastic waste.
