Recently Aldi store in the UK announced to remove all the plastic on their Twitter page. The post read: ‘’We are removing all plastic lids on our own-label fresh cream and ready-to-drink coffee products. This initiative will remove around 34 million pieces of single-use plastic from the market.’’
According to Perishable News, ‘’From March, the UK’s fifth-largest supermarket will stock these products without unnecessary plastic lids in over 780 stores across England and Wales.’’
Fritz Walleczek, Managing Director of Corporate Responsibility at Aldi, said: “We are committed to cutting the amount of plastic that Aldi and our customers use, particularly unnecessary, single-use plastic like secondary lids.
“Every step like this brings us closer to our target of reducing the amount of plastic we use in packaging by 25%.”
From the end of February, Aldi will go on a trial of the removal of plastic lids from its large Greek-style flavoured yogurt pots. If they succeed, this will be rolled out across all 500g yogurt pots, eliminating a further 34 million pieces of plastic.
