Lidl To Cut Plastic By 20% By 2025
Lidl Belgium has announced it plans to reduce its plastic usage by at least 20% and make all of its private-label packaging recyclable by 2025.
The discounter said it will stop selling unsustainable plastic carrier bags at its Belgian sites after this summer; a move that could save some 200 tonnes of plastic annually.
Currently, Lidl Belgium charges 10 cents for its plastic bags, however, it plans to rely more on sustainable alternatives, such as biodegradable sugarcane bags, its sturdy big shopper bag, and its Fairtrade bag.
“We have set ourselves an ambitious target for plastic reduction, and these plastic bags therefore no longer fit our vision of the future,” said Philippe Weiler, head of sustainability, Lidl Belgium. “We want to set an example by taking environmental measures to limit our climate impact.”
