Aldi UK Introduces Recyclable Butter Packaging Starting Next Month

Aldi UK is continuing its sustainability moves by announcing that it is deploying recyclable wrap packaging on two of its own-label butter lines.

Aldi’s latest move follows the company’s transition to 100% PET recycled wine bottles for its own brand of wine and implementing AI in stores to trach flexible plastic packaging. The recyclable wrap packing on its butter lines is said to be a “UK supermarket first” and will impact Specially Selected West Country and Yorkshire Block butter.
