Supermarket to trial paper packaging for its loo rollz in bid to save over 900 tonnes of plastic each year Aldi plans to start selling toilet paper in plastic-free packaging across 174 stores in England from next month, as part of a trial it then hopes to rollout UK-wide and expand to cover other products....
German supermarket chain Aldi has unveiled plans to sell toilet roll in plastic-free packaging across England. Starting in August, the company intends to offer its own-brand toilet roll packaged in paper at an estimated 935 of its locations in the country, with a further UK-wide expansion in the works. The move will replace the non-recyclable plastic covering previously used on its Luxury Toilet Paper, and could save 174 mt of plastic per year. Aldi aims to make all of the packaging for its own-label products recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2022.
