About 70% of the UK’s plastic waste comes from packaging while, each year, the UK throws away about 9.5m tonnes of food waste. As the main supplier of our food and groceries, supermarkets have a vital role to play in tackling this problem by helping to engage consumers and rethink industry practices.
It’s a responsibility Tesco is taking seriously. With that in mind, it has committed to ambitious targets to halve food waste in its own operations and make all its own-brand packaging fully recyclable by the end of 2025.
