A supermarket chain Aldi has announced a ban that will impact all of its stores in the UK. Aldi has issued a statement to explain changes to the way it sells one of its most popular products.
As reported by MEN, Aldi is removing plastic shrink wrap from its multipacks of its Corale baked beans in a bid to further reduce plastic waste. The move will save 78 tonnes of single-use plastic from going to landfill each year, while still offering shoppers a multipack discount when they buy four tins.
The fifth largest UK supermarket will also trial the removal of the outer plastic wrap for its sweetcorn mini packs in a number of stores this summer. If successful, this will remove a further 24 tonnes of plastic from circulation per year, meaning Aldi customers will be able to buy more of their everyday items plastic-free
