Greenwashing Easter Eggs

This week you talked about reducing packaging from your own brands with great pride and glee but those are not the problem. Your fixture is packed with branded lines that just overkill on packaging. Your standards are mixed. Stop listing brands that have not made an effort to minioae wasteful Easter egg plastic.

Do you agree?

We've made real progress in eliminating unnecessary packaging by almost halving the single-use plastic on our own-label Easter eggs and confectionery. It's a move that brings us closer to our pledge to make all own-label packaging either widely recycled, reusable or home compostable by 2023. We hope other branded suppliers will continue to follow our example.

    I’ve just asked my children if they would mind not getting Easter eggs this year if I can find ethical, plastic free chocolate they like and it was a unanimous yes. Wish I’d done it years ago!

        This is pretty awful reply. Waitrose are in a position of power and authority and are clearly putting commercial gain ahead of sustainability. Sacrifices need to be.made to develop the sustainability agenda. Waitrose clearly don't wish to be part of that. Branded eggs account for 95% of the fixture.
