At FPP we consider the sharing of content and knowledge to be one of our principal responsibilities. We’ve created FPP Checkout to allow us to deliver against this.

The purpose of this platform is to simplify the consumption of content. With so many sources in both the offline and online world, it’s easy to fall behind on essential reading. Checkout finds relevant, up-to-date information and delivers it to you in one easily-accessible environment. What’s more, we also use Checkout to provide FPP category analysis and opinion whenever and wherever relevant.

Checkout is a platform designed with you in mind. And that doesn’t just apply to the content we deliver, but also the way in which we deliver it. We provide information that isn’t just relevant to the industry as a whole, but relevant to you as an individual.

If you click on ‘My Account’, you’ll be able to select the categorical content that is of interest to you. This will allow us to prioritise the content that we know you like.

We use a number of sources for the articles featured on Checkout. Whilst we won’t necessarily cover all of the publications you access, below is a list of the most common to try and give you as much as possible in one place:

The move comes as part of Aldi’s commitment to make all its own-label packaging recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2022. This has already seen it replace black plastic trays with clear, recyclable versions on six of its fruit and vegetable lines, and its 5p carrier bags are due to be scrapped from stores by the end of this year, with customers offered bags for life or 9p reusable bags instead. 

“Our customers consistently tell us that they want to see a reduction in plastic waste, and we are committed to helping them achieve that,” said Fritz Walleczek, Aldi’s managing
