Tesco introduces new plastics ban affecting online shoppers
Tesco has issued a new storewide ban that is set to affect all customers who shop online.
The Big 4 retailer will no longer provide tray liners or non-essential plastic bags with online orders and the change is scheduled to come into place from April 19.
This is part of the retailers aim to reduce unnecessary plastic consumption.
In a message to shoppers, Tesco wrote: “From 19 April, we’re removing tray liners and non-essential plastic bags from all online orders. If you place your order before 19 April for delivery after that date, you’ll still receive tray liners if you’ve asked for them.
“As a response to Covid-19 and to ensure the safety of our customers and colleagues, we reintroduced carrier bags for all online orders. However, we know how concerned many of you are about plastic – and we’re aware we have an important role to play in reducing plastic consumption.”
