Plastic-free shopping without the guilt
Bags matter less than you think; packaging on the food you buy every week matters more.
2 swaps, highest priority first
01
49/100Swap Priority 49 out of 100: Worth doing
Plastic-wrapped fruit and veg → loose produce
Loose produce lets you buy exactly what you need, cutting both plastic and food waste.
Worth doing · about 2.0 kg of plastic a year
02
38/100Swap Priority 38 out of 100: Lower priority
Plastic carrier bags → a tote you keep using
Worth doing, but lower priority than you might think: bags don't touch your food, and a new tote must be reused many times to pay off.
Lower priority · about 400 g of plastic a year
