The supermarket giant said it is the first UK supermarket to make the move. The change is said to save more than 560 tonnes of plastic a year
Sainsbury's shoppers will notice a significant change in the supermarket's bakery section as new packaging has been introduced. The move, aimed at reducing plastic waste, is expected to cut over 560 tonnes of plastic annually.
Sainsbury's claims this shift will result in a 90% reduction in plastic use, cutting plastic packaging by 414 tonnes each year. Doughnuts will now be packaged in cardboard boxes with a small window, while twin-pack pastries, croissants and cinnamon swirls will be moved to paper bags. Customers can expect to see these changes in all stores in the coming months. Sainsbury's has stated that the window on the new packaging can be easily separated from the box and paper bag for recycling at any front-of-store recycling points at the supermarket.
