Tesco, Britain’s largest supermarket chain, has launched a trial allowing customers to buy food, beverages, household and beauty products in reusable packaging as part of a strategy to cut plastic waste.
The Minderoo Foundation’s Plastic Waste Makers Index report, reported in a May 2021 piece in the Guardian, pointed out the United Kingdom was the fourth largest producer of plastic waste per capita globally.Greenpeace UK said: “The UK needs to drastically cut the amount of plastic produced in the first place. Reducing single-use plastic by 50% would not only allow the UK to end waste exports but would also mean less plastic going into incineration and landfill.
A range of 88 products will be offered, including brands such as Unilever’s Persil laundry detergent and Radox shower gel, PZ Cussons’ Carex handwash, Fevertree drinks, Heinz ketchup, Coca Cola, Tetley Tea and Brewdog beer, as well as 35 Tesco own-brand essentials, such as pasta, rice, sugar and oil.
“We are determined to tackle plastic waste and one of the ways we can help is by improving reuse options available to customers,” says Tesco chief executive Ken Murphy.
