M&S Introduces 25p Banana Bundles To Reduce Food Waste
UK retailer Marks & Spencer has introduced a new banana waste reduction scheme across all stores across England.
The scheme allows customers to take home a cardboard bag of extra ripe bananas at a great value, minimising the amount of unsold food in stores.
Marks & Spencer tested the bags at 10 stores and received a great response from local customers, selling a total of around 6,800 banana bags, or the equivalent of saving 18,000 loose bananas from ending up in food waste bins.
