The Rules

My local supermarket only has cardboard pictures of SD cards on the shelves and they give you the card on checkout. I have also seen reusable plastic cases you can't slip into your pocket. Same thing with saffron. There are many ways to reduce packaging without causing shoplifting or having to look around for an attendant to unlock the shelves. If regulations are in place to remove single use plastic packaging I am sure supernarkets will find a way

It’s the manufacturers that design the packaging. But yes, there is always another solution.
