Co-op promotes environmental credentials in new campaign

The Co-op was the first national grocery retailer to make compostable bags available, with 1,000 stores giving out the bags in communities where they are accepted by the Local Authority in the household food waste collections.

“Building stronger communities by being a stronger Co-op is what we do and we are committed in helping our members and customers to make more ethical choices,” added Ali Jones, Customer Director at Co-op.

“Reducing the environmental impact of products is and always has been at the core of Co-op and the introduction of compostable bags in stores where local authorities accept them, is helping to reduce plastic contamination in a targeted way, as well as helping to divert household food waste away from landfill.”
