Marks & Spencer (M&S) has launched new packaging solutions for organic blueberries and chestnut mushrooms as part of its ongoing commitment to reducing plastic usage. The blueberries are now packaged in paperboard punnets, replacing around one million plastic trays. Chestnut mushrooms have also seen a shift from flexible plastic packaging to top-seal board punnets, which are easier to recycle while maintaining product freshness. These changes align with M&S’s broader sustainability roadmap, which includes a target to remove one billion units of plastic from its operations by 2028. The company has already reportedly eliminated 80 million plastic units from its food halls. This initiative is part of a long-term strategy to improve recyclability and reduce waste, responding to growing consumer demand for more sustainable packaging options. Both packaging alternatives are fully recyclable and designed to help M&S meet its ambitious environmental goals while still delivering product quality.
