Tesco is removing plastic wrapping from its multipack tins in an effort to cut down on waste.
The supermarket giant says it will remove 350 tonnes of plastic a year from the environment.
Britain’s biggest supermarket is working with the likes of Heinz and Green Giant to replace plastic-wrapped multipacks with multi-buy deals.
Tesco said the move was the first of its kind by a major UK retailer.
And environmental group Greenpeace welcomed the decision to get rid of what it called “pointless plastic”.
The changes start on 2 March when Tesco will stop ordering more plastic-wrapped multipacks. Some items will remain on the shelves as Tesco sells remaining stocks.
