To recycle the pouches, customers can simply bring them to one of Sainsbury's front-of-store flexible plastics recycling points(available in all Sainsbury's UK supermarkets).
The innovative move follows a series of plastic reductions as part of the retailer's ongoing commitment to halve its own brand plastic packaging by 2025. Sainsbury's recently movedits 5 pack of Fairtrade bananas from a plastic bag to a paper band, removing 25 million single-use plastic bags. From July, the retailer will also be switching its double strength squash bottles to quadruple strength squash bottles, saving 177 tonnes of plastic.
