Berry farmers changing buyer behaviour one cardboard punnet at a time
www.abc.net.au
WA blueberry farmers are tackling the product's plastic waste problem with biodegradable packing they say is worth the extra cost.

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.
