Lidl follows in footsteps of other supermarkets with milk bottle change

Lidl has announced it will be making a big change to its bottles of milk. The retailer is following in the footsteps of Aldi, M&S and Sainsbury's, who have already made the alteration.

Lidl has said it will be banning green caps from all of its semi-skimmed milk bottles. Instead, these caps will be replaced with see-through ones, reports the Manchester Evening News.

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.
