our Focus: Packaging
WE OPTIMIZE PRODUCT- AND PACKAGING DESIGN
A big part of the plastic we use is for our packaging. We want to design the optimal packaging for our products. Therefore we can‘t just cut the use of plastic.
Amount of Plastics Recycability Recycled Content
Expectations and Requirements
CUSTOMER EXPECTATION Our customers have expectations on how they think the packaging of a specific product should look like.
• Design• Shape• Feel• Usability
• Secure Freshness and keep product fit for consumption
• Give information
• Extension of Freshness• Extension of Storage Time
FOOD SAFETYWe are responsible for the safety of the products we sell. Optimized packaging makes a big part of this responsibility.
FOOD WASTEOne third of food waste happens at household. We support our customers to minimize this waste.
Reduction – replacement – recycling
• Stop of sale of plastic shopping bags• Less wrapping for organic FAIRTRADE bananas• Cellulose nets for organic fruits and vegetables• Less packaging for Alesto nuts• Less packaging and higher concentration for washing agents• Up to 80% rPET for cleaning agents• Replacement of polybags with package band for clothing
ACTIONS IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE PLASTIC SHARE IN PACKAGING
Logistics – Collection – recycling
CustomersLidl internal project: “Wertstoffe Wertschätzen”Aim: higher quality waste through waste separation by customers
Shops Neat collection and separation of (packaging) waste we sell
Status-Quo: we recycle or process 90% of our waste
WE COLLECT AND SEPARATE THE WASTE THAT INCURS IN OUR SHOPS AND THE WASTE OUR CUSTOMERS PRODUCE WHILE SHOPPING
Styleguide for Packaging
WE DEVELOPED A STYLEGUIDE TO SUPPORT OUR PLASTIC STRATEGY
• We want our suppliers to actively support our targets
• The Styleguide contains recommendations on packaging design
• At the moment, we collect information and try to work with suppliers for improvement
What is necessary to make the change?
• homogeneous and uniform collection schemes • R&D to develop materials for recycling/for sustainability • equal legal frameworks
TO CLOSE THE LOOP, WE NEED VARIOUS ESSENTIAL CHANGES ON THE MARKET
