Supermarket Plastic Investigation Unit


The 2026 investigation into supermarket plastic use is now open! 

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.

Last year, our investigators discovered that, in 73% of cases, loose fresh produce was more expensive than plastic-wrapped produce.¹

We need eyes in every store around Australia to find out the truth. Add your name to join the team!

Report the price differences you find while you shop to help us hold these massive corporations accountable.
