These brands seem to think that using recycled plastic will resolve the problem of pollution. It won’t. They do greenwash just enough to make soothe their brand conscience. Read how they still direct the narrative in the UK press.
Currently, the only people to be prosecuted in the UK for breaking environmental laws are small landlords and such. Go figure. We are no longer dictated to by eu laws, it’s time we made our own, better, laws and started acting on them, even if the companies doing it are from over the Atlantic, which many of us share.
This strikes a chord. Not sure if there will be forced packaging tracking but this is definitely an opportunity to make the bad guys pay for their actions.
We already know who are the dirty dozen: Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Anheuser-Busch InBev, McDonalds, Mondelez International, Heineken, Tesco, Carlsberg Group, Suntory, Haribo, Mars and Aldi.
Twelve companies responsible for 65 per cent of UK packaging pollution
You can add all these arseholes to the list for a start. Would be interesting to know which one tops the shit list as voted by users. And yep, boycotting just the worst one would ensure they changed their ways – or die.

Poor kids, they already get this green crap rammed down their throats. It may be used to bias them politically.
Ignorance is no longer an excuse. Schools should do this just in case parents don’t.
Early days, but its starting to happen, finally.
Nice idea, could be built into responsibility lessons taught at schools. Our kid’s school sent us this video, which is a step in the right direction.
Good idea for an app, don’t hold your breath though it would take AI to calculate the real impact of each purchase.
