Tesco and Sainsbury's have been accused of misleading customers over front-of-store recycling schemes after an investigation found most of the returned plastic was burned. Shoppers have for several years been able to drop off soft plastic packaging which cannot be recycled through household refuse collections to instead be recycled by the retail giants.
The campaign groups are calling for the UK Government to support a cut in global plastic production by 40 per cent by 2040 at the talks next month – a policy they are also calling on the supermarkets to support.In a legal briefing published with the investigation, non-governmental organisation ClientEarth said soft plastic recycling claims in the form of product labels, in-store signage and website content are misleading consumers about the environmental impact.
