Tesco is urging its customers to reduce waste this Halloween
It asked customers to not throw away any Halloween decorations they've got left lying around. Instead, the supermarket said it wants to encourage them to reuse them each year.
It comes after a survey revealed 40 per cent of families reuse their Halloween decorations. To help push the message, Tesco is now plastering its own brand Halloween products with the message 'This product is reusable, please use it again next year'.Read more: WATCH: Helicopter footage shows £84k Range Rover thief in 150mph chase after Manchester Airport incident
Tesco campaigns manager, Courtney Pallett said: “We want to encourage customers to treat Halloween decorations the same way they do Christmas decorations and use them year after year. It’s more sustainable and a simple way to save money.” Tesco has also pledged to reduce the amount of virgin plastic in its Halloween products by exclusively using recycled material in some products. For example, its trick-or-treat loot bag is now made with 100 per cent recycled plastic while some other items are composed of more than 50 per cent recycled material.
According to the supermarket, it has saved over four tonnes of virgin plastic being created for Halloween alone. Meanwhile, Tesco stated that it reduced the amount of plastic used by nearly 2.2 billion pieces of plastic since 2019.
