Reuse and reduce
It's best not to create waste if possible
The picture opposite shows a perfect opportunity to reduce
packaging, all these items arguably do no need the excess packaging
around them.
Think before you buy
For example do apples really need a polystyrene base and plastic
cover, especially when they have their own protective skin that can
be washed?
Follow more of our reduce/reuse ideas:
Avoid landfilling items when we can
Ideally we need to think more about the buying behaviour and
decisions we make daily. Everyone thinks that recycling is the best
thing that we can all do, whilst this is better than black
bag/landfill waste, it is of course better not to create waste in
the first instance or instead reuse items.

and how to miminise it -
