Aldi is rolling out a change affecting most of its stores. The discount supermarket is bringing in more recycling bins for soft plastics.
It follows a trial last year that saw customers returning all types of clean, soft plastic packaging. These can include crisp packets, bread bags, carrier bags and salad bags - no matter where they were bought.
Aldi said it expects to collect up to 1,000 tonnes of plastic a year once the bins are fully installed in over 800 stores nationwide, which will be complete by the end of this year. It said most UK local authorities do not currently collect soft plastics, so these collection points will make it easy for customers to recycle their waste.
