Read our privacy policy Tesco customers will now be able to buy refillable, zero-waste versions of products across stores in England. The refillable products are part of an initiative called Loop, which is a spin-off of waste-management company TerraCycle and bills itself as a “zero-waste shopping platform”. The service will now be available in 10 stores, where customers can visit Loop fixtures and add products they want into their cart as part of their regular grocery shop. With 88 everyday products available, we’re giving customers a wide range of options and we’ll learn as much as we can from this to inform our future packaging plans.” The founder and chief executive of TerraCycle and Loop, Tom Szaky, said: “The consumer reaction to Loop in these first Tesco stores will prove pivotal in refining the Loop offering and ultimately we hope to scale and reuse across more stores and the number of product lines available”.
