It found that the Swiss see the biggest problem with plastic packaging. Double packaging in particular is considered unnecessary (according to 34% of respondents), and in general there is“too much packaging” (30%).
The survey also showed that the issue of plastic is of particular concern to the older generation, unlike most public climate debates, which are strongly driven by younger people.
“Plastic pollution is increasingly affecting life in Switzerland. Microplastics are already found in large quantities in the snow in the Alps, in our soils and water,” says Fabienne McLellan, managing director and lead of the plastics programme at OceanCare.
