Lidl has confirmed it will be swapping its milk lids. The retailer follows in the footsteps of other big supermarkets by making the change to more easily recyclable clear ones.
Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Aldi have recently made the swap from their green milk caps. Lidl say the move, carried out in partnership with 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.
As reported by Nottinghamshire Live, the company will be replacing the green-coloured caps on bottles of semi-skimmed and organic fresh milk by November 21.
