Rejected petition Reducing the use of plastic packages/bags in supermarkets

Nowadays, we are facing environmental crisis caused in main by single-use plastics, most importantly in the food industry.

Some investigations show that the use of plastic also raised the concerns about their effect on the marine environment.
We call for action that plastic packages can be eliminated by introducing brown paper.
