In June and July 2019, Greenpeace Hong Kong visited 56 Hong Kong supermarkets from 12 chains and collected data on 12,141 items. Greenpeace survey finds that over 50% of extra plastic wrapping is made by the supermarket itself.
Greenpeace urges the supermarkets to set up package-free zones to encourage the consumer to go plastic-free. Plus, supermarkets should examine the volume of plastic used and establish a timetable for plastic waste reduction.
