Take action on excess packaging – GreenVoice.com

Submitted by on Tuesday, 14 October 2008No Comment

The UK produces enough packaging waste in one year to fill Wembley Stadium almost nine times over.
Each person in the UK spends about £125 on packaging a year!

Even though the general public are encouraged to recycle, businesses, who contribute about 90% of all waste,
are asked to do nothing. This can’t be right in the face of all our efforts.

A spokesperson for Greenvoice.com says;
“Despite all of our efforts, domestic waste generated has still gone up 20% over the last ten years,
so it is time for the business sector to act as well.”

If you want to sign a petition asking the government to reduce packaging waste then go to Greenvoice.com
