The Plastic Packaging in Peoples’ Lives project (PPiPL) focuses on how plastic food packaging is embedded in consumers’ day-to-day lives. It aims to gather behavioural insights to enable policymakers and industry to bridge the gap between consumer attitudes to plastic packaging reduction and their behaviour. Taking the food sector as an exemplar, our research will examine the whole packaging supply chain, from production through consumption through waste disposal. Over the three-year project, our aim is to shift behaviours around plastic packaging by developing insights into consumer, business and waste management practices. We aim to tackle key pinch points inhibiting the drive towards cleaner, greener growth.
