16 Sep 2019 --- In a bid to address concerns of single-use plastic packaging pollution, UK supermarket Sainsbury’s has announced a new commitment to reduce its plastic packaging by 50 percent by 2025. Towards this goal, the company aims to switch to alternative materials, use lighter-weight plastics and introduce refillable packaging at scale. Following intense scrutiny from Greenpeace, Sainsbury’s is set to work with the NGO on this commitment and will report publicly on progress every six months.
