Aldi is set to make a change to their own-brand toilet roll - and people will love it.
In a bid to help reduce plastic waste, the budget supermarket is trialling double toilet rolls, which will see it double the volume of sheets per roll on select lines. By doing this, it will reduce the size of the plastic packaging needed for the product.
Not only will the move reduce the amount of plastic they use and thus help the environment, but Aldi says it will also cut down the number of lorries needed to deliver them to stores, as more packs will fit into trucks. If rolled out across all stores, the move could see Aldi remove over 60 tonnes of plastic packaging per year.
The trial is taking place in the West Midlands, East Midlands and Yorkshire, with double toilet rolls available to buy in four, six, eight and twelve packs. If successful, it could then be rolled out to more UK stores, reports the Mirror.
Luke Emery, Plastics and Packaging Director at Aldi said: "At Aldi, we're working hard to reduce our environmental footprint wherever we can, and we're always looking for new ways to make a difference. Reducing the plastic waste and carbon emissions related to such a widely-used product will have a huge positive impact, and it’s just one example of some exciting changes we have in the pipeline."
It comes after Aldi announced last September it will be selling more of its fruit and veg items as loose produce rather than in bags in select stores. This included loose garlic, limes, lemons and oranges. The supermarket chain already offers loose produce options on a number of ranges, including potatoes, peppers and avocados.
