Rejected petition Stop supermarkets selling fruit and vegetables in excessive packaging.

It is unnecessary for fruit and vegetables to be sold in the excessive packaging that supermarkets use. This limits customer choice and contributes to waste. If consumers are asked to pay for plastic carrier bags, this should also be addressed. Allow consumers to weight and select produce.
