04 Jan 2024 --- Tesco is scrapping plastic packaging for its own brand pocket tissue multi-packs and replacing it with recyclable paper, saving more than 55 million pieces of soft plastic annually, according to the supermarket. Compared to boxes of tissues, the pocket version tends to be used on-the-go, meaning the plastic packaging has a higher chance of ending up in the environment. Since mid-December, the individual packs and the wrap around the multi-packs of Tesco’s Gentle White and Balm tissues began transitioning to FSC-certified paper packs.
