Tesco Ireland Trials Home-Recyclable Potato Packaging
Tesco is set to trial fully recyclable packaging for its 1kg new season potatoes and a reduction in the amount of paper used in its 2.5kg potato packaging.
The packaging trial will last for 12 weeks across 100 stores, with plans to roll out the changes to more products if successful.
The packaging change will initially cover the Tesco Ireland range of ‘New Season Early Potatoes’.
The change will also reduce the amount of paper used in Tesco’s 2.5kg new season potatoes bag by 30% and remove almost 50,000 non-recyclable 1kg new season plastic bags from the waste system annually.
The new paper bags will carry the green ‘widely recycled’ logo and can be recycled at home using kerbside collection infrastructure.
