Aldi shoppers have now saved over £7 million since the launch of its partnership with Too Good To Go.

Aldi is the first supermarket to move to 100% recycled plastic (rPet) for its own-brand soft drinks and bottled water range in England and Wales.

Aldi has introduced new plastic-free packaging on its everyday own-label toothbrushes.
The UK’s fourth-largest supermarket has replaced the plastic and card packaging with a cardboard alternative, making it easier for customers to recycle at home without the need for separation.

Aldi expects to extend its support of those in need this Easter by donating more than half a million meals during the school holidays.
