Tesco launches reusable packaging trial – as Waitrose scraps single-use plastic bags from deliveries

Tesco has launched a trial allowing customers to buy products from shower gel to sugar in reusable packaging.

The move by Britain's biggest supermarket is part of its strategy to cut plastic waste - a scourge that has been highlighted by high-profile coverage such as Sky's Ocean Rescue.

Tesco's launch will allow customers to buy food, drink, household and beauty products in packaging that can be returned to stores when finished so it can be cleaned, refilled and used again.
