ALDI has announced it is to remove single-use plastic from all its own-brand wipes by the summer.
The supermarket will switch the lines to biodegradable 100% plant-based fibre, which it estimates will prevent the equivalent of 7,000 tonnes of single-use plastic from going to landfill each year.
Richard Gorman, plastics and packaging director at Aldi, said, “Moving to biodegradable wipes is another step forward in our commitment to reduce plastic across our ranges.
“It’s becoming increasingly important to our customers that their everyday products are environmentally friendly, and we’re pleased that this move will help them on their journey.”
