The research aims to explore the issue of plastic pollution and waste. Consumer cooperatives engaged in solving this problem with their new initiatives. Consumer cooperation contributes to reducing environmental pollution and transitioning to eco-friendly packaging, as demonstrated in pilot projects and action programs on plastic waste based on examples from consumer cooperatives in the United Kingdom, Slovakia, Spain, Italy, and Sweden. The innovative approaches of these cooperative organizations offer significant environmental benefits. Consumer cooperatives engaged in retail trade can play a role in reducing plastic waste. Currently, cooperatives allocate less attention to this area compared to recycling. In cooperative trade, several measures have already been taken to address environmental issues and protect the environment. In this activity, the issue of packaging-related waste is just as important as the other two issues—climate change and resource use. Laws combating plastic pollution and the organization of plastic recycling control should serve as a catalyst for the use of recycled plastic and incentivize and subsidize enterprises that ensure the use of only such packaging that can be recycled again in the future.
