In short:

Farmers on Western Australia’s south coast are challenging the norm by selling blueberries in cardboard punnets instead of plastic.

A similar concept has been trialled successfully across more than 30 stores in northern New South Wales.

What’s next?

Most blueberries are still sold in plastic punnets, but the industry is trialling solutions.

    I will never forgive the government for not requiring biodegradable packaging, and taxing every corporation for every disposable piece of plastic.

    They target everything that inconveniences consumers (straws, plastic bags, etc), while patting themselves on the back, twiddling their thumbs, and virtue signalling to constituents… while 99% of plastic waste is from grocery packaging, shipping packaging, etc… They target the people while letting corporations profit from 1000x the damage.
