Tesco is ditching plastic wrapping of its own-label multipack drinks in the UK, in a move to save 45 million pieces of plastic a year.
To be initially removed are those from its own fizzy drinks brand, saving 12 million pieces of plastic each year.
In addition, 33 million pieces of plastic will be eliminated in the autumn when plastic multipacks for children's lunchbox beverages, water, fruit juices, and energy drinks are phased out.
The project marks the latest in a series of moves by Tesco to reduce multipack plastic wraps. The packaging has also been removed from all of the business's tins, including branded and own-brand beans, soup, and tuna, and the company ceased selling beers and ciders in soft plastic multipack wraps last year.
Individual cans will be sold at the same price per unit as part of a multi-buy campaign that will also allow customers to purchase several beverages inside the same transaction.
This change is not only good for the environment, but it will also provide customers additional options and freedom when it comes to fizzy drinks - at no extra expense. Customers who seek a choice of drinks may find it significantly cheaper.
