Morrisons plastic free bid

  • Morrison's becomes the FIRST British supermarket to offer plastic-free fruit and veg in a bid to cut down on waste.
  • Morrisons is to become the first British supermarket to roll-out plastic free fruit and veg areas in many of its stores.
  • Customers will be able to choose from up to 127 varieties of fruit and veg - and buy them loose or put them in recyclable paper bags.
  • This is the latest announcement from Morrison's – which made changes that will remove 9,000 tonnes of unnecessary or problematic plastic each year. 
  • This figure includes 174m plastic produce bags removed from fruit and veg aisles, and 600 tonnes of unrecyclable polystyrene removed from branded food and drink products. 
  • A further 1,300 tonnes of plastic will be removed as a result of the launch of paper carrier bags, this month.
