Sainsbury’s To Roll Out Own-Brand, Plant-Based Tea Bags In June
UK retailer Sainsbury’s has announced plans to introduce a plant-based material for its own-brand tea bags from June 2021.
The tea bags are made of Polylactic acid (PLA), a renewable plant-based material that is industrially compostable, unlike the current oil-based plastic tea bags.
PLA is made from the sugar found in cornstarch, cassava, or sugarcane.
The retailer is testing the new plant-based alternative in its own-brand tea bags.
