I telephoned Sainsburys yesterday and asked them when/if they were going to package their own label fair trade sugar in recyclable bags not the type 7 non recycable it is in now; the chap on the other end said it was "in process" and that also hopefully within the next 2 years or so all own label products will be in recyclable packaging if at all possible.
Anyway scroll forward to this morning, I had to nip into Sainsburys for something whilst at that end of town, and lo and behold their own label fair trade granulated sugar was now in paper bags; the other varieties of own label sugar were very scarce which often means a packaging revamp when it is a staple product.
So I will give a big thumbs up to Sainsburys today for doing the right thing!!
I don't always shop there but have been buying their teabags and sugar as it is fair trade even better now the packaging is also recyclable.
Whilst there I also noticed that they have a few more own label organic products than they had last time.
Breakfast today for both boys was cereal and juice (no waste)
Lunch for DH was a chippy lunch which he alsways has but the shop uses all papers which can be recycled; for DS2 it was ham salad wraps, hm choc cake, juice and a banana (no waste - banana skin into compost bin)
