Lidl and Aldi announce 2022 green packaging plan

Aldi announced today that 100% of its own-label packaging will be recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2022, while Lidl will do so by 2025.

The pledge comes as Aldi’s Irish and UK operations plan to reduce its packaging and plastics, with the retailer committing to a 50% reduction in all product packaging by 2025. Relative to 2015 levels, this would mean that half of all Aldi product packaging would be made from recycled material in seven year's time.
