Today we see in store @TescoIRLnews that even the most difficult #softplastic can be repurposed using the #Paltech manufacturing technology. The first of many products that can leverage this technology. #circulareconomy #circularuseofplastics
We’re delighted to have launched flower planters, made from 100% recycled soft plastic, in collaboration with @GreenGenIreland and @paltech_ie. Minister of State for Land Use and Biodiversity @pippa_hackett said the initiative is a good example of the circular economy in action.

Bringing these flowerpots to the market, made entirely from end-of-life waste soft plastic, is an important step in creating a closed loop solution for plastic at this time. We recognise we have more to do and continue to work hard to meet our packaging targets.

Our priority remains to remove plastic where we can, or reduce its use on our products when we can’t remove it completely. We’re working hard to ensure that any packaging material we do use is recyclable for consumers and can go on to be used again. bit.ly/3rQ7JV0

We’re proud to be the first retailer in Ireland to create a recycling solution for soft plastics. In-store collection points will be rolled out to all stores by the end of this month and customers can simply leave behind unwanted soft plastic packaging. #GlobalRecyclingDay2021
