J Sainsbury PLC (SBRY.LN) said Friday that it aims to reduce the
amount of plastic packaging it uses by half by 2025.
In order to achieve its goal Sainsbury's--which currently uses
almost 120,000 metric tons of plastic packaging a year-- said it
will focus on all branded food packaging, Sainsbury's brand food
packaging and packaging across its operations.
Some of the measures it will take, it said, will include
switching to alternative materials and using lighter-weight
plastics. Sainsbury, which is the second-largest U.K. grocer by
market share, also said it will start selling milk in returnable
glass bottles.
The company said that it will report on progress every six
months and have an area of its website for customers and interested
parties to share ideas on how it should reduce the amount of
plastic it uses.
