Are these the most over-packaged products? (Marketplace)

Zazur McDonald’s

Zazur box 📦

my worst offender is pretzels and potato chips. the bags are twice as big as they need to be and they're pumped full of air

Clearly, the main problem is the blame shifting Environment Minister.

Every single one of those blue recycling-bins lined with, what should be utterly redundant, plastic trash bags, no doubt due to the amount of wet & dirty, never mind utterly unrecyclable waste-matter the (well-intentioned) kids are throwing in them blindly, also thus likely contaminating the entire load, condemning it all to either landfill or incineration…

Tell you what… it didn’t makes sense to be packaged the way it was - but during COVID it sure did. If you recall people going in and coughing on product.

how about government marijuana?

Hey you know how we over come these issues ?? We use hemp instead of plastic and trees

Luckily, now in Europe, single used plastic like forks and cups are banned. Now other continents like North America should follow.

June has passed so long ago .and there is no changes.I am still forced by the stores and not let with any choices.

This plastic double/triple plastic wrapping is so baddddddd

Yes , i agree , but they need to be ship , and not moving while they move , ... plastic XD

Straws only consist of 0.01% of plastic in the ocean. The most plastic is coming from fishing nets from commercial fishing!

I bought some Dr. Scholl"s insoles, and they are ridiculously over packaged and difficult to open. I have to cut and gouge the plastic box open with a knife. I don't see why they don't just come in a plastic bag.

Simple word... DON'T LITTER, we people who litter create pollution.

while a lot of things have unnecessary excess packaging— please keep in mind that for things like pre-cut fruits and vegetables or individual portions of items (just to name a couple) are really important for disabled people who have mobility/fine motor/strength/etc. issues and are unable to do it themselves and/or have no one to help them. those things mean that disabled people have access to healthy foods and other things that they need when they otherwise may not. remember that a lot of the environmentalist movement forgets about us in ways that actively cause harm, not just inconvenience. accessibility shouldn’t be an after thought

Can't agree with the paper towels. Like they said, the extra plastic allows the rolls to be sold individually, like in a convenience store for example. Unless there is some super durable and protective paper wrapping out there. I doubt anyone would want to buy an unwrapped roll of paper towels. As for the forks and straws, part of that is hygiene. If paper straws work, great!

Okay but the plastic straws, I know you can avoid plastic straws all together.
But could you imagine grabbing a straw sitting in a container where everyone can touch it?
Maybe not use plastic straws, but if you are using it, keep it wrapped for sanitary purposes. Please lol.

Edit: or maybe stick paper or plastic to the very top? Seal it to the straw, so it’s keeping the tip securely covered until it’s open.

you purchasing a product in such a small amount will obviously cause more plastic to be used because the producer still has to gurantee the product arrives in good quality etc.

I love how the people that can actually do something make light or find the positive thing to say on camera, very political

When kids are brought into stuff like this it makes me cringe so hard, please stop

This was a good programme ,thankyou ...and I have a suggestion once good one ...either a change or wise packaging ...we need to look at paper bags strong enough to reuse many times

Years ago,like 40 yrs ago , we were angry about the increase of plastic ( and we said noooo to plastic wrap and bags ) we were not successful so after purchasing goods we unpacked what we could and left it on the counter

I migrated to Canada from Kazakhstan and I’m not used to seeing wrapped vegetables and fruits at all

Too bad we can’t use the cloth produce bags right now because of COVID....the stores don’t want you to bring your own bags

Paper straws?

the legal cannabis part is true i cant count how many of those baggy's that I have so unnecessary lol

It's an insane message, but let's face it. The companies don't care at all.

I agree kinder don’t need 3 layers of plastic but I can see 2 if they want individual servings.

mom i can smoke now cbc bought pot too!

I've been finding a fair bit of these lunchmates in the dumpster recently. Probably not because of people not chosing to buy them due to the packaging, but probably just due to the price, and/or the fact that just too many were ordered compared to those who bought, so they got thown out after the best before date.

Their loss, as I get to eat free food that tastes pretty good. I'm not contributing to any of the plastic waste since I'm not buying any of these. Most of the stuff I get in dumpsters are actually quite heavily wrapped. Aside from being bundled all together in garbage bags, there's usually 2 other layers before getting to the food too, such as a snap pack and then shrink wrap, or in these lunchmate cases, a cardboard sleeve.

Put the apples in your pocket...

Lmfao I wonder if they smoked it 😂

honestly i threw any type of plastic in the recycle....i am a environmentalist and seeing plastic like that doesn't phase me at all

Them: buying weed

Me:=(

The pumped february systematically risk because lip unknowingly fasten through a like plasterboard. righteous, annoying hospital

This just show space ain’t finna take our trash we in prison

Great ad on the greatness behind the plastic

Back no one didnt care now today people care about the world the world is a miss any ways we have 8billion people

Then dont nuy it ok

I like how the kids are like "I won't buy this anymore" as if they're the one with the money

really kids, come to China and see then. These ppl have too much money to spend already so what they care so much now is about the freaking plastic wrap outside them peppers

You should see what they are doing in Japan. Package of chocolates and inside every single chocolate is wrapped in plastic. Bottle of mayo or different sauces inside plastic bag. Single vegetables in plastic? On a daily basis. And you often cannot find things you want without this unnecessary plastic

subsribe to yufeng yan

Maybe we should look for other types of materials. The world’s oil reserves are drying up so we can’t keep making plastic forever

*covid aside, in Ireland it's common now to take the plastic off and leave it at the checkout. A nice form of protest for those items that have no better alternatives.

In south Asian countries we use metal tiffin boxes at school and offices and use our hand than cutleries .. just make sure wash them ☺️
