Bradford-based Morrisons bans polystyrene packaging
Now Bradford-based supermarket Morrisons has completely banished expanded polystyrene, one of the most widely used plastics, from all its own-branded food and drink products - a move that will prevent 600 tonnes being disposed every year.
Polystyrene was previously used on trays for its fresh meat and fish, some desserts and cakes, and as a base for instore-made pizzas - around 90m a year.
