ALDI is to move its own-brand porridge pots to cardboard packaging in a bid to further reduce plastic waste.
The supermarket said that the move will see it save an estimated 175 tonnes of plastic from going onto the market each year. Set to be available in all stores in early 2023, the new porridge pots use a fully recyclable card-based material.
Richard Gorman, plastics and packaging director at Aldi, said, “Moving to card for our porridge pots is yet another step forward in our commitment to reducing the use of plastic across our products. We know how important protecting the environment is to our customers, which is why we are committed to making changes like this that help make a difference.”
