Tesco tackles food and plastic waste with plant-based protection for fresh produce
Tesco is trialing a plant-based food protection branded Apeel to extend the shelf life of fruit and vegetables. This protective extra “peel” slows the water loss and oxidation that causes produce to spoil.
The trial will see approximately 80 UK Tesco Extras and Superstores around the Peterborough area stock Apeel-coated Jaffa Oranges, Jaffa Sweet Easy Peelers and Lemon Packs.
Tesco says that the UK throws away 6.6 million metric tons of household food waste a year and 400,000 metric tons of that is fruit. Every day, UK society throws away 720,000 whole oranges.
