Aldi trials packaging-free products at England store.

UK-based grocery retailer Aldi has started testing its first packaging-free products at a store in Cumbria, England. The Ulverston store is selling loose basmati rice, brown rice, penne pasta and wholewheat fusilli, which are available by weight. Customers can carry the household staples in fully recyclable paper bags provided by Aldi for free. The bags are made of material certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). The initiative is expected to result in the elimination of more than 130t of plastic a year, or more than 21 million pieces of plastic from stores.

Aldi在英國商店試用無包裝產品。英國雜貨零售商Aldi已開始在英格蘭Cumbria的一家商店測試其首款無包裝產品。 Ulverston商店正在出售散裝的巴絲馬香米，糙米，通心粉和全麥通心粉。 客戶可以免費將家用釘書釘裝在Aldi提供的可完全回收的紙袋中。 袋子由森林管理委員會（FSC）認證的材料製成。 預計該計劃將導致每年減少130噸以上的塑料，或從商店中淘汰2100萬件以上的塑料。
