Woolworths and Coles are adopting new strategies to combat plastic bag usage as a new report reveals about two-thirds of the rubbish cleaned from the environment last year was plastic, representing an almost 20 per cent increase.
Clean Up Australia’s 2022 National Rubbish Report, a snapshot of the types of waste contaminating ecosystems nationwide, said of the 366,144 pieces of rubbish picked up by the organisation’s volunteers, 63 per cent was plastic of some sort.
