Lidl has become the latest supermarket to introduce vacuum-packed mince to cut plastic waste. The discounter is following Sainsbury’s and Co-op in adopting the new packaging, which is also recyclable, across its beef mince range.
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.
Lidl is guaranteeing customers the same amount of mince, while saving more than 250 tonnes of plastic and taking up to 350 delivery trucks off the road a year.
