Misfit Market must change their dangerous packaging

Misfit Market must change their dangerous packaging

The Issue

Misfit Market has a great story of food rescue. However, they knowingly continue to pack their foods in plastic wrap/padding that claims to be "curbside recyclable" when in fact, it is not at all in Massachusetts, and most states where it does business. In doing so, they

- put workers at recycling centers (MRFs - Material Recovery Facilities) in harm's way,

- damage their equipment,

- drive up costs that make recycling too expensive,

- completely undermine recycling education efforts with residents - contributing to ever-growing frustration and unwillingness to fully participate. 

I have provided David Dumas of Misfit Market all of the information and references to document this and have been dismissed ("No further information will be available at this time.")

Please demand Misfit Market to stop their greenwashing immediately and take responsibility for EVERYTHING they provide consumers. Extended Producer Responsibility is the only way we will get to a circular economy.
