In 2018, Australia's major supermarkets banned plastic shopping bags, resulting in an 80% reduction in plastic bag consumption within three months as shoppers adapted to new habits.
The Australian Marine Conservation Society reported that Aldi is the only supermarket with a measurable plastic reduction target, highlighting the need for increased accountability among retailers.
Avoiding supermarket snacks wrapped in plastic can be achieved by buying in bulk or shopping at stores that allow customers to bring their own containers.
Shopping locally often means encountering less plastic in independent fruit and vegetable stores, which supports sustainability and reduces your environmental footprint.
