"For every kilogram of blueberries sold in Australian supermarkets there are
around eight plastic punnets.

With the average Australian eating about 700 grams of the fruit each year the
plastic starts to pile up.

Blueberry farmers in southern Western Australia have switched to compostable
cardboard punnets for their blueberries in an effort to reduce the product's
plastic waste."
