Asda plans to eliminate single-use plastic from its cafés
Asda aims to ban all single-use plastic from its supermarket cafés by the end of 2019.The trial forms part of several retailer’s ongoing efforts to ban the material. In fact, the grocer has already removed plastic items from one of its stores, including straws, disposable cups and cutlery.
It has introduced instead wooden cutlery, paper straws and food containers made from organic material which can be disposed of along food waste. If deemed a success, the trial will be extended nationally.
Having already met its 2018 objective to remove 6,500 tonnes of plastic from its own-brand packaging, Supply Chain Analysis reports.
