Lidl follows in the footsteps of Aldi, M&S and Sainsbury's with milk bottle ban in all stores
Supermarket chain Lidl has announced it will be making a big change to its bottles of milk. The retailer is following in the footsteps of Aldi, M&S and Sainsbury's, who have already made the transition.
Lidl has said it will be banning green caps from all of its semi-skimmed milk bottles. Instead, these caps will be replaced with see-through ones. The company said the move, carried out in partnership with its milk supplier Müller after a trial in September, will allow 60 tonnes of recycled high-density polythene to be turned into food-grade packaging in the form of milk bottles.Lidl will be replacing the green-coloured caps on bottles of semi-skimmed and organic fresh milk by November 21, according to The Grocer.
"Customer feedback during the trial was overwhelmingly positive and we are thrilled to be making this change permanent across Lidl stores. In addition, this move will help us achieve our goal of making more of the plastic we use circular and fit to be repurposed time and time again." Richard Gorman, plastics and packaging director at Aldi, which announced it was scrapping green caps in an attempt to reduce plastic waste, said: "We know it's becoming increasingly important to our customers that their everyday products are environmentally-friendly, and we are constantly reviewing ways to become a more sustainable supermarket. By trialling clear milk caps we are making our milk bottles easier to recycle, so they can be turned back into new packaging.
