Frustrated shoppers tired of receiving their purchases in 'excessive' packaging, often single-use plastic, are calling out retailers on social media. One Twitter user, calling for a petition against online fashion giant ASOS, has seen his post liked nearly 30,000 times. @TobyStanding tweeted ASOS saying: 'All well and good claiming you’re into clean air, but this much plastic packaging for a tiny order? @izzyAwills revealed: 'And @hm @hm_custserv I ordered 8 bikinis and every top/pair of bottoms came in an individual plastic bag?' #SaveOurOcean #saveourseas #singleuseplastic #plasticpollution'Responding to @calimadu's call for a petition, ASOS said: 'You can send all your ASOS packaging back to us with your returns & we’ll recycle it into new bags.'
