It's over a year since Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Anita Rani launched their war on plastic, revealing the enormity of the problem of single-use plastics. In this follow-up episode, Hugh and Anita ratchet up their efforts a gear, as they take on the companies that make tea bags and sandwiches, continue the battle with fast-food companies and their plastic toy giveaways, and challenge a British family to go plastic free on a budget. We eat around six million prepacked sandwiches every day. Hugh wants to know what happens to all the plastic-lined packaging. Are they as widely recycled as the labelling suggests? He is horrified to discover that the industry is not as transparent as it seems. We also drink around 100 million cups of tea every day. Anita has heard that tea bags may hide a dirty plastic secret. Experiments in a lab confirm her fears and give her the information she needs to confront the brands responsible.
