Aldi colleagues will join Beachwatch’s thousands of volunteers to support an overall target of picking up more than 500,000 items of litter.
The initiative is set to begin on September 26, with further beach cleans taking place throughout 2024.
It follows other initiatives by Aldi including trialling new plastic packaging free lines of fruit and vegetable products, ditching single-use wooden forks and trialling packaging alternatives for minced meat.
A recent report by Systemiq found that plastic pollution could double by 2040 without changes to global pollution policy.
Earlier this year a study from scientists at the 5 Gyres institute highlighted that there are more than 170 trillion plastic particles afloat in the ocean, based on samples of 1,777 samples of plastic.
