The discounter Aldi is not always at the forefront when it comes to sustainability and environmental protection.

An environmentally friendly innovation is now waiting at the bread counter.

  • In the fight against

    plastic waste

    ,

    discounters

    don't want to sleep either.

  • Aldi Süd is now introducing an environmentally friendly

    alternative at

    the

    bread counter

    .

  • The

    reusable bags

    are offered as an alternative to

    paper bags

    with a

    plastic

    window.

Munich - Yes, the

Co2 pollution

dropped during Corona, but the

pandemic

does not have

green consequences

in all areas

: According to the

German Association for Waste Management

DGAW,

 2.26 million tons more household waste are

expected

in the course of the corona virus

.

Lots of

plastic and paper packaging

.

In the fight to reduce plastic waste,

discounters

like

Lidl

,

Aldi

and Co are not exactly pioneers.

Quite the opposite: The

price

is often what counts here,

and it can usually be kept lower when packaged in plastic.

Also the

freshness

the food masses should be guaranteed for as long as possible.

Aldi Süd: Change to the bread counter - alternative for customers

Nevertheless, the discounters are trying more and more.

At the

bread counter

,

Aldi Süd

also wants to take

a step in the right direction.

No, the paper and plastic bags won't go away completely here.

When it comes to reaching into the bread displays, at least one alternative is now offered: a

reusable bread bag

.

The narrow

fabric bag

is 20 x 50 centimeters in

size.

For

99 cents it

can be bought once and used again and again.

From November 1st a slightly narrower version (25 x 45 cm) will be available for the same price.

Aldi Süd: The vegetable network is getting a sibling - discounter introduces reusable bags for baked goods

Instead of a

printed paper bag with a window

,

rows of

natural fiber bags

could

now

run over the conveyor belt

at

Aldi Süd

.

According to the company, the sustainable

vegetable network has

already proven itself.

The concept should therefore be introduced more and more: sustainable and reusable.

Aldi

has also

upgraded

for plastic lids and shampoo bottles

.

The

competition

never sleeps either: Lidl, Rewe and Netto are also banning more and more plastic.

However, the decision still rests with the

consumer

.

After all, the

bread bags are

only offered as an alternative.

So the

disposable bags

are not going to say goodbye yet.

Anyone who prefers to

 stock up

on 

confectionery

 from 

Eastern Europe

should examine this recall: there is a risk from carcinogenic substances.
