Attempts are being made everywhere to avoid the consumption of plastics.

A Rewe branch now showed how it is not possible using quark balls.

To the annoyance of a customer.

Munich - In the interests of the environment, people and companies are currently urged to avoid the consumption of plastics.

That this doesn't always work in everyday use is a given.

However, a Rewe branch has now shown that awareness of this topic has not yet reached everyone.

Quark balls were offered in a pastry container for self-service.

However, every single quark ball was in its own plastic film.

A user photographed this absurd consumption of resources and posted it on the Rewe Facebook page: “Here we see senselessly wrapped quark balls at Rewe in Calw.

What do you have to use plastic film for now?

A minute's silence, please. ”As a rule, you take your pastries out of their containers with grippers and put them in a small paper bag.

It is possible that the grippers are no longer laid out due to hygiene measures.

Rewe responded and wants to investigate

In any case, the Facebook page of the supermarket chain did not provide a precise answer: “The reduction of packaging and resource consumption is very important to us - also in terms of implementing our sustainability strategy.

Therefore we would like to investigate the matter once.

Could you tell us the market via PM?

Then we pass it on ”, was the response to the contribution.

Another user speculated that the quark balls would be packed individually because too many people would unhygienically reach into the compartments with their bare hands.

The consequence of this, however, would be that each individual roll and all other baked goods would then have to be packed separately with plastic film.

Rewe with unnecessary consumption: User names alternative

By the way: with our brand new consumer newsletter you will always be kept up to date on consumer information and product recalls.

“I don't know anyone who just buys a quark ball.

Usually you buy 3-4 pieces, you could alternatively pack several to save some material but not a single one ??

So with all my love ..!

Nowadays everyone tries to avoid plastic and to switch to alternatives such as paper, ”was the answer of the user who posted the article.

It is not clear to what extent Rewe has now drawn the consequences.

Thanks to the complaints of some Facebook users, however, the supermarkets are becoming more and more aware not to use plastic.

A Media Markt customer also recently had to complain on Facebook.

His product was delivered to him in an extremely unsanitary condition.
