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:

Asda trials removal of all single-use plastic from its cafés

Asda is planning to ban all single-use plastic from its supermarket cafés, as retailers continue to step up the war on the material.

Its Beeston store, in Leeds, has removed plastic items including straws, disposable cups and cutlery.

The Beeston site is one of Asda’s Express Diner formats. The retailer has introduced wooden cutlery, paper straws and food containers made from organic material which can be disposed of with food waste. It has also replaced its pizza boxes with metal plates in the trial which will be extended nationally if it is deemed a success.

Asda has installed three recycling bins at the café to recycle food waste and coffee cups as well as bottles and cans, and is offering customers who bring in their own cup a 25p discount on hot drinks.

The retailer has committed to removing single-use cups and cutlery from all of its customer cafés by the end of 2019, having recently announced it had met its 2018 promise to remove 6,500 tonnes of plastic from its own-brand packaging within a year.
