I. That international symbol of British cuisine—fish and chips wrapped in paper—may never be the same again. The industry associated with the national delicacy is facing increasing pressure to reduce the environmental pollution caused by its thrown away packaging. An estimated 3.6 billion containers for take-away British chips and their continental cousins, French fries and pomfrites, are thrown away each year. Apart from conventional paper wrapping, it is estimated that almost one billion plastic and cardboard plates are dumped each year in Britain alone after fish and chip lovers have had their fill.

Later this month, a new product will be launched which, its manufacturers claim, will help reduce the 22,000 tons of European paper waste associated with the food. The new product, an edible chip cone, is biodegradable and, say its makers, even tastes like a chip. Fast food shops will now be able to serve portions in the new cone, which can be eaten itself after its contents have been consumed, therefore leaving no litter. The Dutch manufacturers, Viko, point out that if people prefer not to eat the product they can throw it in a litter bin where it will decompose naturally within a few days. The new cone—at approximately 10 inches high, the right size for a medium portion of chips—is made from powdered potato, wheat flour, vegetable oil and salt. A secret coating on the inside makes it impervious to vinegar and sauces. Bruce Kirk of Belfast was the first-known British trade user of the cone and claims that the product "will catch on". But, he points out, the packaging is more expensive than the conventional wrapping and the consumer may have to pay for the extra cost. The cones, already launched successfully in Holland and Germany, are now being stock-piled in their millions for their British launch. Many local authorities on the Continent already make the use of biodegradable take-away food packaging a prerequisite for granting food and drink licences to outside events such as exhibitions and pop concerts. Elaine Gilligan of Friends of the Earth welcomed the product in principle, but pointed out that even "environmentally friendly products cause pollution when they are made". At Birmingham's Jolly Fryer customers gave the cone a mixed reception. Some claimed it tasted like "salted paper", while others said that they "wouldn't eat it" but their "dog might". Some said the product was "a good idea" and that they "would certainly eat it to save the environment". The makers are already planning to re-examine the size of the cone for the British market, where the custom is for larger portions than those demanded by continental chip lovers. Once they've been adapted to the larger British appetite, the future of the humble, edible chip looks promising - especially after expected changes in the law make fast food traders responsible for litter caused by the products they sell.

A41. Why do fish and chips cause environmental pollution?

People are careless with the wrapping. People buy more than they can eat. People prefer to use plastic plates.

А42. How will the new product solve the problem?

It can be used again. People can eat it. It is a different shape.

A43. What is the new product made of?

Paper that tastes of salt. Things usually eaten with chips. Mostly natural ingredients.

A44. Ecologists say that

the new packaging causes more pollution than conventional wrapping. the process of producing new packaging may do harm to the environ­ment. the new product should not be admitted to the market since it is not environmentally friendly.

A45. Chips served in the cone

will be larger than those served abroad. will taste better than those served in plastic. will cost more than those served in paper.
