Our commitments

As part of Plan A, our five-year 'eco plan', we have committed to stop sending waste to landfill from our UK and Irish stores, offices and warehouses; reduce our use of packaging and carrier bags. We plan to:

• stop sending food waste to landfill and instead use it to produce green energy via ‘anaerobic digestion’ or compost;
• reduce non-glass packaging by 25% and use packaging materials that are easy to recycle or compost;
• cut carrier bag use by 33% and make them from recycled plastic;
• trial ‘closed loop’ recycling (making new packaging from old packaging) in our Café Revives; and
• make sure customers can eventually dispose of our clothing without sending it to landfill.

How are we managing store waste and packaging?
