The supermarket chain, Co-Op is set to trail 100% compostable wrappers at Glastonbury Festival. The retailer will also sell sandwiches packed in 100% compostable packaging. The pop-up store will sell Co-op bottled water in recyclable aluminium cans and refillable bottles, after the festival banned the use of single-use plastic bottles this year.
Co-op said the packaging is 100 per cent sustainable, from the base card to the transparent film and the label – which are all compostable. There will be compostable rubbish bins will also be available on site. Meanwhile, Co-op has been working with independent environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy for other music festivals such as Download, Isle of Wight, Latitude, Creamfields, Reading and Leeds.
