Co-op is introducing new vacuum packaging for its beef mince products across its stores from this week.
The supermarket chain said the move was to help reduce its plastic waste and says that the change of packaging will help save 138 tonnes of plastic waste each year.
Co-op told the Mirror that the new vac-pack packaging format will start to appear on its store shelves this week and after a staggered rollout they will eventually be sold across all sites.
