Join the War on Plastic with Creamline!
Did you catch the BBC’s War On
Plastic show earlier this week? A cause close to our hearts, Hugh
Fearnley-Whittingstall and co-presenter Anita Rani tackled the plastic
pollution problem to see if things have changed since the ‘Blue Planet Effect’.
With shocking scenes in Malaysia,
the programme showed how plastic waste from the UK is piled and abandoned – and
not only this, recycling waste had found its way there too. Presenter Hugh
found that most of this ‘recycled’ waste is very unlikely to actually be
recycled, with huge amounts simply incinerated on the side of the road.
When it comes to plastic bottles,
the UK’s usage is growing by about 9% per
year. Many of the items we see in supermarkets are plastic-wrapped, with
over a third of plastic coming from the supermarket shop.
Making the switch with Creamline
One of the easiest, fastest changes
you can make is by signing up for glass bottled milk. Our bottles are washable,
and are reused numerous times, directly cutting out any plastic bottle usage.
Our plastic-free icon also
highlights items without plastic packaging, helping you to reduce your usage in
the weekly shop. Ordering in as and when you need from us can help reduce your
intake too – we offer free, next-day delivery on our orders.
