Asda To Remove Plastic Forks From Salads And Protein Bowls

UK retailer Asda is to remove plastic forks from its own-brand salads and protein bowls as part of its pledge to ‘Use less and recycle more’.

The new packaging for salads, without plastic forks, will be rolled out on 25 June.

The initiative will result in reducing over 24.5 million plastic forks each year across its own-brand salads.

It is the equivalent of 41 tonnes of plastic or the weight of approximately 55 cows, the retailer added.
