Aldi, Co-op and Sainsbury's to introduce major change to sandwiches range

British supermarkets are doing their part to be more environmentally aware by reducing the amount of single-use plastic used in their products. In turn, this will decrease plastic pollution on both a national and global scale.
The research showed that some customers struggle to separate a sandwich’s outer packaging from the plastic film in order to recycle it.
With the new packaging, shoppers will be able to put the whole skillet in the recycling bin without worrying about non-recyclable parts.
According to Greencore, around 600 million pre-packed sandwiches are consumed every year in the UK.
This means that millions of pieces of non-recyclable plastic get thrown away annually.
