Lets talk to catherine conway, campaignerand lets talk to catherine conway, campaigner and founder of on packaged, easier always to consultancy. She advises supermarkets and other businesses on reducing plastic waste. A 90 drop, what is your reaction . Campaigners like me expected this to happen. We knew the British Public was happy to use the plastic bags they have at home and none of us thought it would bea home and none of us thought it would be a problem. Wejust needed home and none of us thought it would be a problem. We just needed the little tax to get people to change their behaviour. Why has it taken so long for that change of behaviour to ta ke long for that change of behaviour to take place . I think the supermarkets lobbied hard behind the scenes against it because it was cheap and free advertising for them, people could buy lots of things and not have to think about it, convenience has become the watchword for everything. Anything that can help people get in and out and buy more products supports their business. But i think they have come round to the way of thinking, since blue planet, we understand people want change. Is it going to take Something Like taxing or banning by the government to make the idea of plastic free, the single use disappearing . What do Consumers Want . They want to not feel guilty about packaging when they get home. We stand over the ben thinking that we know we should be doing something. They have to be able to shop without their packaging. What choices are out there whilst trying to balance the Consumer Experience . If you want to not create any waste then at the minute all you can do is ta ke then at the minute all you can do is take your own containers to various shops and lots of them will now fill them up for you. Traditionally, independent stores will have always put things in their own container but now supermarkets have cottoned on. There are offers at the deli counter, and recent trials we have worked on, encouraging people to bring their own containers. What has the uptake mean . If you are a busy mum 01 the uptake mean . If you are a busy mum or dad shopping at the end of the day, people still forget their reusable bags. It is convenience. |j have reusable bags. It is convenience. have been doing this for 12 years and people said it was far too niche, the mainstream would never do it, and the first week we did the supermarket trial, the supermarket was full of normal people saying they brought their own containers. They may not remember everything of time but even 50 would still be a massive reduction in single use packaging. Why dont we use paper bags . We have to balance plastic pollution and Climate Change and Scientists Use things like life cycle analysis, to understand the foot print. Their Analysis Shows that paper and card is often. With plastic it is mainly down cycling so you get less quality plastic out of it till the end. Paper can have a larger Carbon Footprint . It can. We would suggest we should be moving to reusable. We are against single use, and this idea that we could move to reusable is and keep things in circulation then that would have the best outcome. What is the next step . How quickly can we get there . When we look at what is happening to environmental pressures. I dont think we have that long to create small changes. We are seeing a lot of innovation within the supply chain foreign producers and manufacturers, looking at from producers. How do we make reusable things . A customer might walk into a supermarket, take something off of the shelf, use it and be incentivised to put it back into the system for reuse. Could potentially cost us more, though. Lets ta ke cost us more, though. Lets take a look at the weather. Flooding is a major concern in derbyshire. We have a severe Flood Warning at whaley bridge.
