Each time I visit any of ICAs grocery stores I am very disappointed with seeing this big company wrap each and every single pepper in its own plastic. This is just a waste of plastic and adding to the huge amount of plastic use the world does not need. WRAP recently published a report adressing this issue, concluding that wrapping fruit and vegetables in plastic does not lead to less food waste by makung the fruit or vegetable last longer. Instead, the wrapping leads to more food waste as many costumers buy more food than they need. Therefore, I believe that ICA needs to stop their plastic wrapping.

We do use plastic around some of our products to increase durability and thereby decrease food waste. However, we strive to minimize packaging material as much as possible and to make it easy for the customer to recycle the packaging correctly. We also work hard to reduce the amount of plastic and use plastic made from renewable raw materials. Our packaging strategy includes clear goals for recyclable packaging by 2025 and recycled or renewable material by 2030. In addition, we are constantly looking for new solutions to protect our common environment and reduce the use of packaging.

Good to hear that they are also looking for a solution to conserve the environment.

There's really no excuse for this... Vegetables should not be individually packaged in plastic.

I totally agree with you. Makes me mad every time I see it. But if we all start pointing this out to the staff (in a friendly way) every time we visit an ICA store, we might be able to create change.
