Aldi to remove plastic lids from fresh cream & RTD coffee
Aldi is removing plastic lids from own-label fresh cream and ready-to-drink coffee in a move it says will eliminate 34 million pieces of plastic a year.
From next month, the discounter will sell the products without the “unnecessary plastic lids” in 780 stores across England and Wales.
It will also trial removing the plastic lids from its large Greek-style flavoured yoghurt pots. If successful, it will do the same for 500g yoghurt pots, saving another 34 million pieces of plastic, it said.
The steps are part of Aldi’s work to cut down on plastic packaging by 25% by the end of 2023.
