Sainsbury's has announced massive changes to the way it packages food products. Among them, the supermarket chain has decided to ditch the plastic packaging on its five-pack Fairtrade bananas from next week.
Instead of a plastic bag enveloping the bananas, bunches of bananas will be held together with a paper band at all Sainsbury's stores from May 22, 2022, reports The Grocer. This will save 25 million single-use plastic bags, equivalent to 75 tonnes of plastic, the supermarket said.
Sainsbury's says it will also cut its plastic use further across various ranges in the coming months. Among the plans, the chain will remove plastic lids from all of its salad and coleslaw ranges and change its nut butter packaging to glass packaging, as well as upgrading from double-strength bottles of fruit squash to quadruple-strength bottles of fruit squash - meaning only a quarter of a typical serving needs be used for a glass of squash and helping each bottle last far longer than previously. From June, Sainsbury's will also reduce the use of plastic film it its bags of grated cheese and across its dessert cheesecakes.
