How are they going to stop the salad touching the food?
Need to come up with some standard reusable designs used nationwide. Akin to the German beer-bottle system, but expanded to a few more formats of container.
Plenty of places use cardboard boxes for food, I had pie gravy and chips at a football ground recently, no leakage, no dampness, no problems whatsoever.
My only worry is having to use wooden cutlery – I can’t stand the feeling of a wood spoon on my tongue.
Won’t even dent the larger problem though, that is the energy needed to keep afloat the industries from manufacturing to transport to disposal of all the so-called alternatives. It’s same ol’ same ol’.
Can take aways just go back to the paper for fish and chips or metal trays for indian and chinese food.
Everyone is stealing the new McDonald’s stuff in France… Inevitable at the start I guess…
>Fish and chips restaurants and other takeaways will become more expensive as small companies will be forced to pass on higher costs of packaging to consumers, suggests Andrew Crook, who runs a fish and chip shop in Lancashire and is deputy chair of the British Takeaway Campaign.
I’d believe that from a Chinese or an Indian, but seeing as most chippies (here at least) wrap stuff in paper I’m struggling to see how things will get dearer for them.
Good. The thumbnail, for instance, should just be wrapped in paper.
Just so long as no ones talking about plastic fishing nets. Not that it’s a bad thing.
What about all those single-use plastic bottles of Evian?
It’s the supermarkets and multinationals who need to be forced to get rid of plastic, not small independent cafes and restaurants
Its nice to reduce single use plastic – but why not target ready meals and plastic use at supermarkets – it would make more difference
Wow, the world economic forum really is hell bent on destroying what’s left of the economy
Gutted to see no single use electronics IE: Elf bars, Birthday/Christmas card music boards, Disposable cameras..etc
They should ban wet wipes rather than letting them clog everything up and costing us tonnes to clear up
