The realisation that Marks & Spencer overuse plastic packaging for its apples sparked a lot of backlash. Here is The Recycling Association’s response, and we couldn’t agree more:
2) Ridiculous packaging!
Totally unneccessary. Whe do apples suddenly need super protection when we’ve been buying them for years. It’s all about premium sales. We expect better for @marksandspencer #dontbuythem https://t.co/0pI73Ta9oE

Oxford’s recycling roadshow is the perfect way of how to learn more about this issue. Did someone say freebies?
4) Our recycling roadshow will be in Bonn Square on 15 Dec from 11am – 3pm. They’ll hand out free food caddy liners, useful items made from recycled material, and recycling bags. And they’ll answer questions about recycling, with an emphasis on extra recycling over Christmas. pic.twitter.com/q1J1LW7PLy
