Aldi, the UK\u2019s fourth-largest supermarket, is set to roll out \u2018Snap Pack\u2019 packaging for its own-label beers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The supermarket expects the new solution to eliminate 412 tonnes (t) of packaging each year.<\/p>\n

Aldi noted that the new format uses glue to hold the cans together, replacing traditional cardboard sleeves.<\/p>\n

The new initiative will apply to four-packs of Aldi\u2019s Galahad, Sainte Etienne, and Brasserie beer products. <\/p>\n

The latest move supports Aldi\u2019s wider sustainability efforts. Earlier this year, the supermarket collaborated with sustainable wine brand The Hidden Sea to launch its own-label Chardonnay, with the equivalent of ten plastic bottles removed from the ocean for every bottle sold, according to the company. <\/p>\n

Aldi UK national sustainability director Luke Emery said: \u201cWe know our customers care about the environment, and so do we. That\u2019s why we\u2019re constantly challenging ourselves to find smarter, more sustainable ways to package our products.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy switching to Snap Pack packaging, we\u2019re taking meaningful action to prevent waste \u2013 without compromising on quality or convenience. It\u2019s a small change that makes a big impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

In April this year, Aldi unveiled its own-label wine bottle<\/a> made from aluminium, thereby offering a more sustainable packaging option.<\/p>\n

Weighing 95g, the aluminium bottle is claimed to be lighter than a typical glass wine bottle, making it easier to handle and transport and lowering carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

The supermarket company added that the wine is bottled in the UK at a facility powered by green energy sources.<\/p>\n
