Aldi has removed all single-use cutlery from its food-to-go range to encourage customers to use more environmentally friendly reusable options.
The discounter claimed that the move would result in a reduction of 10.5 million wooden forks in its salads and pasta bowls – equating to 28 tonnes of waste saved.
Luke Emery, Plastics and Packaging Director at Aldi, said: “At Aldi, we are constantly reviewing ways to become more environmentally friendly, and this is another positive change to help us make a difference.
“This will result in a significant reduction in single-use materials and help customers to make more environmentally friendly choices.”
