Co-op follows Asda in bringing huge change to products in some UK stores
British supermarkets are doing their bit to help the environment and reduce the use of plastic. In a recent eco-friendly decision, both Co-op and Asda have will introduce refillable packaging to their stores by the end of 2021.
This will be the first time that the refill stations will appear in Co-op stores, but they have already appeared in other supermarkets.
Asda launched its first refill station in a Leeds store last year, and it is expanding the scheme due to its popularity.
The supermarket is introducing the refillable packaging system to the same locations as Co-op, with the York store set to be its largest.
The grocer said it had plans to install 18 standalone refill bays in the shop, which will feature more than 70 branded and own-label products.
