Petition Compel retailers to ensure that all product packaging covers recyclability

Recycling claims and labels are intended to provide consumers with information that will help them to sort their packaging correctly after use. However, there are still a significant number of packaging types that do not provide the necessary recyclability information required to aid consumers.

More details

As consumers we have a collective responsibility to contribute to effective waste management strategies and ultimately to reduce our negative impact on the earth. This petition, if successful, is intended firstly to facilitate consumer decision-making and also, to highlight those brands/companies that are failing to contribute to the war on waste.
