Supermarkets don’t make the plastic. It needs to be stopped at the source.

I mean everything we buy is in plastic. It’s not the supermarket, it’s the big corporations that are producing and packaging that agree to use the plastic.

That's true, you're right it is a bigger problem than just the supermarkets as I say in the original reply but could have been clearer. However, supermarkets are a big part of the problem, they provide us with the majority of goods most of us buy on a weekly basis, and they have the buying power, as well as producing their own lines of produce. They've done some good things to deal with plastic, but could go much further. But in essence, I agree it is a problem shared by all companies, including supermarkets.
