We’re proud to announce that from 18 March, we'll be supporting Love Food Hate Waste’s Food Waste Action Week campaign.
This year, we are encouraging you to 'Choose What You’ll Use' by buying your fruit and vegetables loose instead of packaged. Research from Love Food Hate Waste has shown that we could reduce food waste by 60,000 tonnes just by buying loose fruit and veg!
Sometimes we are in the mood for a huge potato, and sometimes we just need one carrot for our spaghetti bolognese. Why let the rest go to waste? Choose loose and you don’t have to.

When it comes to recycling, metal is hard to beat. That’s because it’s endlessly recyclable - every last bit can be turned into something else. It’s a cycle that can go on forever.
The empty can you recycle today could be back on the supermarket shelf as another can in as little as 60 days.
Metal packaging is made of either aluminium or steel. At the materials recycling facility, the latest technology is used to separate the different metals before they are baled and sent for reprocessing.
The process involves melting the metal; it is then cast into ingots which are sent on for manufacturing. The recycled metal is then used to produce all sorts of everyday items like cameras, irons and kettles, as well as more food tins and cans.
That’s why it’s so important to do your bit – every piece of metal packaging you recycle will be used again and again for years to come. Every time it’s recycled we save energy, cut emissions and reduce landfill areas and costs.
