Asda, one of the UK’s largest food retailers, has become the latest supermarket to announce immediate plans to reduce plastic waste in its stores.
The supermarket’s new plan, released this week, pledges to reduce the amount of plastic in its packaging by 10 percent this year.
It will do this by implementing a range of measures, including replacing 2.4 million plastic drinking straws with paper; launching reusable coffee cups; and phasing out single-use carrier bags.
All single-use cups and plastic cutlery will also be removed from its offices in 2018, and in stores by the end of 2019.
