25 Aug 2020 --- UK supermarket Asda has launched its first fully recyclable blueberry punnet and film lid, equating to an estimated 5.5 million recyclable packs annually. Asda also announced a trial on several other fresh punnets, including grapes and tomatoes, after a company survey found that 94 percent of customers said that they felt personally responsible for recycling. Earlier in the year, the retailer removed over 24.5 million plastic forks from salads and plastic from in-store printed media to tackle plastic pollution and launched a “market first” van fleet insulated with plastic bottles that save 300 kg on standard models.
