Lidl is following in the footsteps of Sainsbury's, Aldi and Waitrose by swapping their green milk caps for clear ones.
By permanently replacing the green-coloured caps on bottle of semi-skimmed and organic fresh milk by November 21, the discount supermarket is the latest retailer to make the move to more easily recyclable clear ones, according to The Grocer.
The company said the move, carried out in partnership with its milk supplier Müller after a trial in September, will allow 60 tonnes of recycled high-density polythene to be turned into food-grade packaging in the form of milk bottles. Scott Davey, Lidl's senior buying director, said: "We remain committed to supporting our customers in helping them make more sustainable shopping decisions on a daily basis.
