SuperValu has launched a new, more sustainable option for bagging loose produce - and what's more they're available in Killarney.
The new bags are washable and certified food safe and this reusable option will keep food fresher for longer, as the breathable material doesn’t sweat in the fridge.
Customers can now purchase the new fruit, veg and bakery bags at two for €1 at designated points in most stores nationwide.
The supermarket giant are on a mission to make packaging as sustainable as possible as part of their commitment to making one hundred percent of SuperValu's own-brand, fresh produce and in-store packaging recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2025.
"In line with SuperValu’s sustainability goals for 2025, we here at Daly's SuperValu are committed to playing our part in achieving these long term goals by making all SuperValu packaging either recyclable, reusable or compostable," PJ McGee, Store Manager, said.
"Being located in one of the most beautiful towns in Ireland, visited by people from all over the world, we see this as another small step in protecting our environment for future generations to enjoy."
SuperValu is committed to reducing its carbon footprint in Ireland and aims to be carbon neutral by 2050. In addition to moving to sustainable packaging, SuperValu is committed to operating all facilities with one hundred percent green electricity and to sending no recoverable waste to landfill.
