“Asda announced it will be removing more than 24.5 million plastic forks from its store brand salad meals and protein bowls, an equivalent of 41 tons of plastic.
The initiative is part of a larger “use less and recycle more” platform that the company is embracing, aiming to reduce plastic packaging within its private brand packaging by 15% by 2021.
Additionally, Asda will remove 21.6 tons of plastic from its Extra Special Asparagus product by eliminating a plastic tray associated with the product. The company has made waves in its fresh produce category, already eliminating 256 tons of plastic from fresh produce packaging this year.”
