Plastic-Free Groceries for Plastic-Free Seas

Sign the petition to tell Woolworths, Coles, ALDI and Metcash (IGA & Foodland) they need to do more to reduce their contribution to ocean plastic pollution.

Sign the petition to tell Woolworths, Coles, ALDI and Metcash (IGA & Foodland) they need to do more to reduce their contribution to ocean plastic pollution.

Every time we walk into a major supermarket in Australia today, we’re surrounded by disposable plastic packaging. It shouldn’t be this way.

Last year, 1.2 million tonnes of Australia’s plastic waste was packaging.¹ Packaging now accounts for 58% of litter found in beach clean-ups across Australia.²

Australia’s $144 billion supermarket industry³ must take responsibility for its plastic packaging, and to give us fair options to avoid unnecessary, excessive and problematic plastics. Help us put the pressure on.

Sign the petition to join the call for Australia’s big supermarkets to:

• Publish how much plastic packaging they use every year.
• Provide plastic-free options for groceries.
• Develop a reuse strategy that is evidence-based and in line with best practices.

We’ll be presenting this petition to the four major supermarkets. Every signature makes our call harder to ignore.

Anyone can sign up. We encourage all ocean lovers to add their name.
