They have a reduce, reuse, recycle system in place in which people can recycle their single use plastic such as crisp packets, the film used to wrap fresh things such as meat and fish, fruit and vegetable bags, and sweet wrappers. So that instead of them getting thrown away, they get reused and made into new packaging keeping the plastic that has already been made within their system. This then contributes to limiting the amount of new plastics that need to be made. 

Whilst this is what it says on Tesco’s website, I done some further research to see what people outside of Tesco had to say about the sustainability pact Tesco have on their website...]]> 2022-05-17 11:43:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mroberts0720181_2/35d9373gwiatzy7r/wish/2187455072 mroberts0720181_2 https://padlet.com/mroberts0720181_2/35d9373gwiatzy7r/wish/2187459268 When I looked elsewhere outside of Tesco, I found that they were in partnership with WWF.
