Tesco Changes Packaging Concepts for Cheese and Chicken
The British retail chain Tesco wants to use a new concept to save 260 tons of plastic per year on packaging for its own label hard cheeses. The packaging of fresh chicken will also be changed.
Cheese in a square shaped packaging: This is part of the classic picture on the shelves in supermarkets in Great Britain. For the sake of sustainability, the Tesco retail chain is now breaking with tradition and has changed the packaging concept for its own label hard cheeses. Around 40 product lines are affected. New 400-gramme pack sizes in an oblong packaging are replacing the previous 460-gramme packs.
Tesco also announced that from 2021, it would no longer use plastic trays to pack its own brand fresh whole chickens and would replace them with single bags.
