Dear Warburtons, Please see the attached picture and note that I will be choosing your competitor’s bagels simply because they are packaged in recyclable plastic and yours aren’t……
I have been sending quite a few emails like this recently. Some companies simply reply that they are sorry to hear this but have no plans to change and some companies (like Warburtons) at least tell me “we are currently reviewing all our packaging and looking for recyclable alternatives wherever possible.”
I am hoping that the growing consumer savviness will force more and more companies to look for more environmentally friendly packaging (or even better no packaging) for their products. But in the meantime I will continue to check for the recycling symbols on everything that I buy and keep sending emails to those companies that I think should be doing better. A little reminder from their lost customers should hopefully motivate them to act just a little bit faster.
