25 Jun 2019 --- Roughly 48 percent of packaging used by major UK supermarket chains cannot be easily recycled, according to a recent investigation by Which?. The average percentage of packaging – including cardboard, glass and plastics – that could be easily put in household recycling bins was just 52 percent, the UK charity reports. Furthermore, 42 percent of the total supermarket packaging was labeled either incorrectly or not at all, making it difficult for consumers to dispose of correctly and increasing the chances of it ending up in a landfill.
