London-based Thornton's Budgens introduced plastic-free zones to encourage shoppers to lead more sustainable lives, reports The Independent. It offers more than 1,700 products encased in plastic-free packaging, such as beechwood nets, pulp, paper, metal, and glass. THe products range from bread, to cheese, to vegetables.
Thornton's Budgens was able to create the plastic-free zones in the store in just 10 weeks with the help of campaign group A Plastic Planet. The supermarket chain places great importance on reducing plastic reliance. Andrew Thornton, founder of Thornton's Budgens, says "We believe in taking a strong stance on major issues that affect our wellbeing and our planet." Full Story
