Holding Supermarkets Accountable

With your support, we launched the 2025 Supermarket Plastics Unwrapped Audit Report!

Thank you to the 5,000+ plastics investigators across the country who continue to help us hold supermarkets accountable for their excessive use of disposable plastic packaging.

The Unwrapped Report tracks supermarket progress in reducing disposable plastic packaging. For the third year in a row, all major supermarkets have failed to receive a passing grade.

AMCS attended the annual general meetings of both Coles and Woolworths, and in the presence of key stakeholders and shareholders, we demanded the supermarket giants make public their annual plastic footprint.

The big supermarkets are yet to commit to transparent reporting or packaging reductions. 

Your support enables AMCS to advocate for a plastic free healthy  ocean. Supermarkets must provide better choices for customers, less plastic packaging on shelves, and in turn – less pollution in our marine environments.

How does your supermarket rank?
