A more environmentally friendly packaging for Tesco new potatoes will be introduced following development with packaging supplier Amcor Flexibles and potato suppliers Greenvale AP and Branston.
The improved pack format will save nearly 500 tonnes in polystyrene packaging a year.
The original pack format, which used a HIPS (high impact polystyrene) punnet lidded with Amcor P-Plus laminate film, will be updated with a VFFS (vertical form fill seal) bag produced from recyclable coextrusion film.
The packs will continue to use the Amcor P-Plus technology to maintain the quality of the potatoes.
The Tesco range of 1kg new potato packs includes Charlotte, Baby New, Miniature Baby New, Baby Bakers and Jersey Royals.
