Consumers Are Calling Out Companies For Wasteful Food Packaging (20 Pics)

Wasteful food packaging is a problem that has gained attention in recent years due to its negative environmental impact.

Many food products come in single-use packaging that’s meant to be used once and then thrown away, such as plastic bags or disposable containers. This type of packaging generates a large amount of waste, as it cannot be reused or recycled.

Reducing wasteful food packaging is important for protecting the environment and conserving resources, but it seems as if some companies aren’t too worried about it.

People are sharing the most egregious examples of this and the pics are ridiculous.
