Aldi introduces cardboard porridge pots
Aldi is moving to cardboard packaging for its own-brand porridge pots as part of its commitment to reduce and remove unnecessary plastic from its products.
The first supermarket to announce the change, Aldi said the new pots will be available in all of its UK stores in early 2023.
Aldi has also recently removed plastic shrink wrap from its bean multipacks and ditched single-use plastic from its own brand wipes.
Richard Gorman, plastics and packaging director at Aldi, said: “Moving to card for our porridge pots is yet another step forward in our commitment to reducing the use of plastic across our products.
“We know how important protecting the environment is to our customers, which is why we are committed to making changes like this that help make a difference.”
