Unpackaged: Aldi opens “green” supermarket with focus on refills and reusables.
by Thomas Reiner
Discount giant Aldi has opened a “green” supermarket in the UK that aims to reduce the average CO2 emissions of a typical supermarket by two-thirds. The focus is primarily on the topic of unpackaged, which the discounter is addressing through the use of refill stations and corresponding reusable packaging. And that is precisely the point. Even if it is currently still difficult and not entirely successful, reusable and refill stand for the future.
