Aldi To Reduce Plastic Packaging By 50% By 2025 Aldi has committed to reducing the volume of plastic packaging used by 50 percent by 2025. The new commit- ment will see the UK’s fifth-largest supermarket remove 74,000 tons of plastic packaging during the next five years, the equivalent to 2.2 billion single items of plastic. To achieve this target,Aldi will work to remove and reduce unnecessary packaging and switch to alternative materials. Where plastic is required, it will be recyclable and made of recycled material wherever possible. The new target is part of Aldi’s overall strategy to ensure that all own-label products are recyclable, reusable or com- postable by 2022 and branded products sold at Aldi by 2025. Since introducing its plastic-reduction strategy in March 2018,Aldi has removed more than 6,000 tons of plastic and replaced more than 3,200 tons of unrecyclable material with recyclable alternatives. Bimbo Bakeries, TerraCycle Partner Bimbo Bakeries USA, a baking company based in Horsham, Pennsylvania, has partnered with TerraCycle, Trenton, New Jersey, to make its bread, buns, bagels and English muffin bags in the United States nationally recyclable. For every pound of packaging scrap sent to TerraCycle through the new Bimbo Bakeries USA Recycling Program, collectors earn points that can be used for charitable gifts or converted to cash to be donated to nonprofit organizations, according to a news release from Bimbo Bakeries on the partnership. IRG Names CEO Of Startup Plastics Recycling Business International Recycling Group (IRG), a recycling startup company based in Erie, Pennsylvania, has appointed Chris Dow as its Chief Executive Officer. Dow will be responsible for developing the post-use plastics sorting facility, which the company has dubbed a “SuperPRF” (plastics recovery facility). IRG had announced plans to construct the facility August 18, with a goal of starting operations in 2022. The facility will process more than 500 million pounds of post-use resi- dential, industrial and commercial plastics each year.
