Ratio of loose items bought in my house each week to packaged items is 4:9
Average amount of packaging is 1
Plastic film is used most because it is waterproof, low cost, easily processed, compatible with most foods and household chemicals.
Only 8% of this packaging can be recycled whereas none of it can be reused.
I would like to contribute to control over packaging and decrease the amount of waste at my home.
I will carry my own cloth bag to buy loose items such as fruits, Vegetables etc.
We can use left over hard shells of fruit such as coconut as utensils for eating food and drinking beverages.
