The British-Dutch consumer goods company says it is ‘on track’ to halve the use of virgin plastic in its packaging by 2025

Returned products are recycled and processed to recover valuable plastics and metals for new products, helping divert millions of tons of waste from landfills

The pilot programme in partnership with the packaging provider Loop will roll out initially in New York, Portland and Tokyo

The new trials are forecast to reduce Iceland’s plastic footprint by more than 350 tonnes every year

The six-week initiative, which was delivered by the environmental charity Hubbub, also helped participants save £16.50 every week

The initiative aims to inspire consumers to make a switch to rechargeable batteries and reduce waste at home

The ban applies to all businesses that supply these products, including manufacturers and retailers

That’s according to Guy Fennell, who spoke to FNZ about Pura, the company he launched with his wife Abi to make 100% plastic-free baby wipes

Consumers will see through an application food items nearing their expiry date available to be collected in their area for free

The new scheme will be introduced to 200 M&S food outlets across the UK
