Over 38,000 supermarkets stores across the United States pump countless #1 PET thermoform clamshell containers used for bakery items and fruits and vegetables into landfill facilities daily. #1 PET thermoform clamshells are not easily recycled, due to specific temperature needs and attached adhesives with no facilities currently recycling them. Additionally, because many Americans add them to their recycled goods they contaminate other materials leading many recyclable goods be taken to landfills.

It’s increasingly difficult to purchase baked goods, or fruits and vegetables without contributing to this overwhelming burden to our environment. 

Please join us on this petition, let supermarkets know your concern and encourage them to find recyclable options for packaging their goods.
