Aldi to trial cardboard steak packaging
2019-09-11
From: Packaging News

Aldi is trialling new cardboard steak packaging in a bid to cut more than 240 tonnes of plastic annually.



From early September, the supermarket will sell its Specially Selected steaks in a cardboard tray, across more than 380 UK stores.

The cardboard packaging is recyclable, once the base film has been removed, and is sourced from sustainably-managed forests.

The discount retailer said the packs are designed to ensure shelf life is not compromised or food waste increased.

Aldi is also currently trialling five lines of vegetables and multi-pack toilet paper without plastic packaging.

Fritz Walleczek, managing director of corporate responsibility at Aldi UK, said: “Meat is almost universally sold in plastic, but we’re looking to lead the way with alternatives – including these new cardboard steak trays.

“Both food and plastic waste are important issues, but this packaging delivers on both by potentially removing 240 tonnes of plastic a year without compromising food quality or longevity.”
