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 174 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 an estimated 935 mt of plastic per year. Aldi aims to make all of the packaging for its own-label products recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2022.
