Sainsbury’s Launches Handwash Pouches To Cut Plastic Use

UK retailer Sainsbury’s has launched own-brand, one-litre handwash pouches in a bid to help consumers cut down on household plastic waste.

The new pouches use 85% less plastic and will allow users to reuse their handwash bottle and pump by refilling from the pouch.

The retailer hopes to save the use of approximately 28 tonnes of plastic every year by introducing the pouches, which are also 35% cheaper in cost compared to bottles of the same quantity.
