Tesco sells 183,000 multipacks daily. The new\npolicy will help more than eight million households in the UK reduce the amount\nof plastic they use, and contribute to Tesco\u2019s commitment to remove 1 billion\npieces of plastic from its own brand products by the end of 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dave Lewis, CEO of Tesco said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\u201cWe are removing all unnecessary and non-recyclable plastic from Tesco. As part of this work, removing plastic wrapped multipacks from every Tesco store in the UK will cut 350 tonnes of plastic from the environment every year and customers will still benefit from the same great value \u2018multipack\u2019 price. This is part of our plan to remove 1 billion pieces of plastic in 2020.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Engaging suppliers on plastic reduction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The change required buy-in from suppliers, as it applies to\nbranded products as well as Tesco\u2019s own brand products. Georgiana de Noronha,\nPresident of Kraft Heinz Northern Europe, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re excited to be partnering with Tesco on this. While we know we have more to do, this initiative is good news for the environment, and for the millions of people who enjoy Heinz varieties every day, as they\u2019ll still be able to benefit from the same great value for money.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Tesco has been actively engaging suppliers in its strategy\nto remove non-recyclable and excess packaging from its business.
