SIGN THE PETITION
STATEMENT Let`s grow is formulating a campaign
in order to make it a Statutory Requirement for Supermarkets to ensure adequate Provision for Recycling, especially Recycle
Bins in their car parks, which can be used to deposit packaging from their products - specifically paper, plastics including
plastic bags, polystyrene, cans and glass. People can use these bins before leaving, or when returning. This will act as an
incentive for supermarkets to reduce their levels of packaging. This could not be voluntary, but would have to be mandatory.
Otherwise, some supermarkets would find their bins overflowing with the remains of packaging from other local supermarkets
which had not made such provision for their customers!
In Germany, it has been common practice since 1993 for supermarkets
to supply bins -- at the checkout -- to collect unwanted packaging. Why not here?
