Spar starts comprehensive plastic reduction programme
Spar is keen to cut down on the production of plastic waste, so the retailer hast started selling private label mineral water in lighter PET bottles and packaging various apples in lower-weight plastic bags. Thanks to this step Spar’s plastic use halved, resulting in a 1,092kg reduction in plastic use a year. By selling organic bananas with biodegradable banding, the retailer produces 1 ton lest plastic waste per year.
The mineral water bottle switch means that this year 80 tons less plastic is used in PET bottle production than in 2018. From 2019 Spar only sells eggs in paper cartons, and since 2018 shoppers can only use paper frozen food bags instead of plastic one in Spar stores. Soon plastic shopping bags will be banned, too. (x)
