Pay for recycling your packaging, supermarkets told

UK supermarkets produce too much packaging, almost 40% of which is non-recyclable, local councils say.

The Local Government Association argues supermarkets should pay towards the collection of their packaging as an incentive to cut back.

In a survey of 29 common grocery items, it found Waitrose had the most wrapping while Tesco had the least.

Lidl had the least recyclable packaging on their products, Sainsbury's contained the most.
