Aim 2:
Reduce the volume of plastic
from your shopping experience.
What we are already doing
Made significant progress in eliminating black and dark
packaging from our stores that are difficult to recycle.
Committed to ensure that all Coop own brand
packaging is reusable or recyclable by 2023.
Increased recycled content so that bottles,
pots, trays and punnets are now made from
a minimum of 50% recycled plastic.
Downgauged and made plastic items lighter such
as juice bottles, cheese slice trays and packaging
for ground coffee.
Banned single-use plastic shopping bags in stores
and increased plastic bags for life to 15p in 2020 to
discourage usage (70p in Jersey from July 2022 due
to a change in the law).
Banned plastic cutlery from our food-to-go range.
We have reduced our plastic content
by downgauging items such as
juice bottles, cheese slice
trays and packaging for
ground coffee.
Introduced more plastic free loose produce when
available from local suppliers and when in season.
Issued colleagues with refillable water bottle,
coffee cup and cotton shopping bags.
Introduced recycling initiatives in stores and
continue to work with partners to recycle what we can.
