Conscious Kitchen
No packaging? No problem. It’s easier to find plastic-free options in your local supermarket than you think
Fruit & Veg
Morrison’s has recently introduced 100% recyclable paper bags to hold all their loose produce, including fruit and veg and in general 81% of their packaging is recyclable. In an innovative new initiative, Waitrose has recently trialled punnets for Duchy tomatoes made from their own leaves.
Snacks & Treats
Some supermarkets, such as Lidl, offer a selection of nuts and seeds that you can take home in your own packaging – after paying, of course! But, if you fancy something a bit more indulgent, most UK supermarkets such as Tesco or Sainsbury’s have a bakery section where you can pick up a croissant completely packaging-free.
Meat & Fish
Morrison’s is trying to encourage their customers to go packaging-free by rewarding them with 100 loyalty points every time they use their own containers for deli, meat and fish. Waitrose is also committed to getting rid of their black plastic packaging for all their products, including meat and fish, by the end of 2019.
