Millions of babies suck on plastic food pouches every day.
Safe, renewable, plant-based biopolymers can replace plastic in food packaging.
Consumers have the right to ask their supermarkets to replace plastic packaging for food. With sufficient volume, plant-based biopolymer packaging can replace plastic packaging without increasing costs.
Hold the Plastic invites all consumers to join us in asking supermarkets to sell packaged food without petroleum-based plastic.
When millions of consumers ask supermarkets to replace petro-plastic packaging with safe, renewable, plant-based biopolymer, they will listen. Supermarkets are already asking suppliers to replace plastic. We want all plastic food packaging replaced in every aisle, now.
Please add your voice to our invitation to supermarkets. Scroll down now. Thank you.
