Lidl has become the latest supermarket to introduce vacuum-packed mince to cut plastic waste following the move first made by Sainsbury's earlier this year.
Lidl, Co-Op and Sainsbury's now all offer the new recyclable packaging on their own brand beef mince products including its 5% fat beef, 10% fat beef and 18% fat beef.
The new packs, which will be rolled out from the beginning of next year, will save space and result in up to 350 delivery trucks being taken off the road each year.
