Soap Box – have your say on the plastic bag debateJosh Brooks, 20 August 2008Be the first to comment on this article Plastics are again under attack this week as retailers move to limit the use of plastic carrier bags following the government’s threat of legislation unless reductions are made. The latest to start charging for bags are WH Smith and Woolworths and more seem sure to follow. So in this week’s Soap Box, we want the packaging industry’s views on the plastic bag debate. Are retailers and government missing the point on plastic bag reduction? Will reductions in plastic bag use make any difference to retailers’, and packaging’s, environmental impact? Are any other materials feasible alternatives? Log in, either under your own name or a pseudonym, and let us know your views. We’ll be publishing a write-up of the sector’s views on Friday’s daily bulletin and may use some of the comments in September’s issue of Packaging News magazine. Speak Your Mind |
