Ok... good.

And yet, it's mostly still packed in plastic. I know, not the same topic, but the title image triggered me. How are we not getting a hold on this!? It's almost like we're not even properly trying.

In Germany they sell a couple of these vegan patties, nuggets etc. frozen in a cardbord box.

Also in Spain, respect the use of plastic, in Lidl already reduced, but still work to do

Its stills leaps and bounds better, simply from an environmental stand point, than dairy or meat based products.

A lot of the veggies are in open containers only the more vurnarable smaller fruits, like tiny tomatoes etc are wrapped in plastic. If they would not wrap them, chances are high people won't buy them generating more food waste. So its also not great.

Not using plastic could hurt their profits :(

Would not using plastic actually be the more environmentally friendly option here?

Sure, plastic is bad when it gets dumped where it shouldn't, but so is spoilage and other packaging solutions also have significant carbon footprints.

Thanks Lidl. Now communicate that to Murca' grocery stores so I have more options.
