To understand how plastic reducers in Aotearoa shopped for groceries, Senior LecturerDr Joya Kemper, University of Bristol’s,and Lincoln University’sused a range of supermarkets and specialist stores.
The research aligns with the global movement Plastic Free July and aims to help consumers reduce their environmental footprint through the reduction of single-use plastic.
“While we find that plastic-free shopping is challenging, it is possible. We hope to learn from those currently practicing a new way of grocery shopping, by providing tips and tricks, picked up by those who have overcome some challenges, and help those who may feel equally motivated but ‘stuck’ in the current system,” Dr Kemper says.
