The UK generates around 30 million tonnes of household waste per year, much of this ends up in landfill.

The study investigated the food packaging levels and composition on 29 common food items in ASDA, Lidl , Marks and Spencer, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Tesco , a local high street and a large market.
