Excessive Packaging

EDM number 814 in 2006-07, proposed by Jo Swinson on 01/02/2007.

That this House notes with concern the excessive levels of packaging used by manufacturers and retailers, accounting for 4.6 million tonnes of household waste every year and 17 per cent. of the average household food budget; commends the recent campaign against excessive packaging run by the Independent newspaper; and urges supermarkets to reduce where possible packaging on goods sold, encourage the re-use of plastic bags, recycle packaging waste and encourage suppliers to reduce packaging further up the supply chain.

This motion has been signed by a total of 181 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
