Iceland to open first in-store green grocer as part of plans to wipe out plastic
Frozen food giant Iceland has announced plans to bring back the green grocer as part of efforts to eliminate plastic. The supermarket said its latest trial will see it focus on loose fruit and vegetables as part of a target to scrap plastic packaging entirely by 2023. It will see 35 items sold loose, and 27 lines packed in plastic-free packaging such as compostable punnets. The trial will launch in one of Iceland’s larger stores - The Food Warehouse in North Liverpool - and will offer customers the choice to buy loose produce instead of plastic-packaged products. It said that the prices of loose produce will be lower than those of packed equivalents in order to encourage take-up.
