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.
The amount of hours I’ve spent looking for non-plastic options for regular items is so stupid. I’m glad to have non-plastic options, so I can vote with my wallet.
Yes please! More of this sort of thing!
It’s so disheartening seeing how much plastic comes home from the grocery store.
Can confirm that I bought blueberries in Denmark (WA town) last month in a cardboard punnet. I thought it was just what the local farm that sold to the IGA did. I’m glad to hear it’s more widespread and potentially rolling out to everyone.
