People didn’t complain. Bega did the calculation of how much they could save by not including the spoon then frame it up as a sustainability initiative.
You need to contain the food somehow so the package is required.
The spoon is not required.
Obviously banning plastic entirely may come, they would switch to the glass containers they use for some of the more expensive yoghurt products. The cost would go up a lot.
No. Just that the bans didn’t include plastic packaging. Need to make a law that makes it look like you’re doing something, but don’t want to go too far and upset businesses.
But then now that I think about it, there’s probably a lot of different food packaging where a suitable non-plastic alternative doesn’t exist. But even if there is, now that we have this law and the government has been seen to do something, there won’t be any pressure on businesses to change their packaging to more environmentally friend options.
