Tesco Launches ‘Tray To Tray’ Recycling With Faerch
UK retailer Tesco has teamed up with packaging firm Faerch for a closed-loop recycling solution to ensure that secondary packaging is recycled into primary packaging.
The initiative will see the recycling of secondary PET packaging, used to transport and hold products on store shelves, to new food contact primary packaging.
Until recently, PET shelf-ready packaging – widely used by UK supermarkets to transport products – was used once and downcycled into non-food applications, Tesco added.
The new ‘tray to tray’ initiative, Tesco’s secondary PET will be collected by Faerch and recycled to make new, food contact PET pots, tubs and trays.
