Not sure exactly when they changed but I noticed new plastic trolleys in Dickson today. I have my doubts that entirely replacing a fleet of salvageable metal trolleys with plastic ones (even if recycled plastics) is actually "pushing for a greener future".
def seems like greenwashing unless they can provide reasons to what the benefits would be in using recycled milk cartons rather than any other material for creating new trolleys
Reusing material is generally/typically good but in some cases it might do more harm than good, plus as the ones touting a claim they have to prove that it is environmentally better than not
These are good points. Also, 74 milk cartons doesn't seem like enough for that amount of plastic. It's like saying a hot chocolate is made with real chocolate. That's great and all, but that's only 10% of the drink.
