To understand how plastic reducers in Aotearoa shopped for groceries, Senior Lecturer听Dr Joya Kemper, University of Bristol鈥檚听,听and Lincoln University鈥檚听听used 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.
鈥淲hile 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 鈥榮tuck鈥 in the current system,鈥 Dr Kemper says.
