24 Aug 2021 --- Supermarket giant Tesco is rolling out soft plastic collection points at every large UK store after a successful 171-store trial earlier this year in Wales and the South West, in which close to a metric ton of soft plastic was collected every day. Soft plastics – also known as flexible plastics – are not commonly collected by local UK councils for recycling and often discarded. With nationwide accessibility, Tesco expects to collect and recycle 1000 metric tons of soft plastic annually.
