Lidl becomes first UK supermarket to launch reusable fruit and vegetable bags
Lidl has become the first supermarket in the UK to introduce reusable fruit and veg bags across all stores nationwide to help reduce plastic waste in the long term.
The ‘Green Bags’, priced at 69p for two, provide customers with a reusable alternative to single-use, small fruit and vegetable bags.
“Today’s announcement is the next step, and one which we hope will help customers shift to a truly reusable option,” Georgina Hall, at Lidl GB said.
The discounter said it also plans to reduce plastic waste by 20% by 2022 and ensure 100% of its own-brand packaging is widely recyclable, reusable, refillable or renewable by 2025.
Since opening its first store in 1994, Lidl has charged for plastic carrier bags. Its move to remove all single-use carrier bags from sale in 2017 resulted in 26 million fewer plastic bags being sold annually.
