The top five initiatives that consumers say supermarkets could take to reduce single-use plastics include: 

The study revealed where consumers are taking most action to reduce their consumption of single-use plastics whilst shopping at their local supermarket, including: 

Tiago Alves, General Manager at SodaStream UK, said: "It has been encouraging to see supermarkets making significant headway in taking action to reduce single-use plastic consumption. Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Aldi, Lidl, Waitrose and Tesco have all signed up to a new industry-wide initiative that aims to make all plastic packaging recyclable, recycled or biodegradable by 2025.

"However, despite all this, the vast majority of consumers still feel they could do more or are doing very little when comparing them to other parts of the retail sector.

"This study shows supermarkets what consumers would buy into in terms of single-use plastic initiatives and it's a real opportunity to win market share amongst increasingly plastic waste conscious shoppers."
