Shoppers at Lidl will soon notice a change to its milk after the retailer confirmed it would be swapping its lids. The supermarket chain is following in the footsteps of other brands by making the change to more easily recyclable clear ones.
It comes after Sainsbury's, Aldi and Waitrose also swapped their green milk caps for clear ones, Liverpool Echo reports. 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.
Lidl will be replacing the green-coloured caps on bottles of semi-skimmed and organic fresh milk by November 21, according to The Grocer.
