Waitrose to use multicoloured recycled trays for its ready meals
Waitrose is rolling out new multicoloured recycled trays for its ready meals in an attempt to eliminate the usage of unrecyclable black plastic by the end of this year.
The colour of the new trays is determined based on the type of recycled plastic being used to produce them, mainly mixed PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles and other containers).
According to Waitrose, the new trays are unlikely to be the same colour twice, and will range from pink and red tones to shades of green and blue following its introduction over the next fortnight.
The move will enable Waitrose & Partners to achieve its aim of phasing out single-use black plastics and save 500 tons of it from going to landfill.
