Update, December 2024: For the second year in a row, Plastic Investigators have helped to reveal that shoppers are being ripped off for avoiding single-use plastic packaging in Australia’s major supermarkets.
Our 2024 Plastic Investigators found that, in 73% of cases, loose fresh produce was more expensive than plastic-wrapped produce.¹
The supermarkets won’t tell us how they price pre-packaged and loose fresh produce. We’re told this is ‘commercially sensitive information’. We’ve caught them out, we’ve called them out, and now we need to track their progress.
We need eyes in every store around Australia to find out the truth. Add your name to join the 2025 team!
Report the price differences you find while you shop to help us hold these massive corporations accountable.
