That means all the supermarket’s porridge oat products are now free of plastic packaging, including its Everyday Essentials, Organic and Scottish Porridge Oats.
The latest move on its Everyday Essentials Porridge Oats is expected to save around 57 tonnes of plastic annually.
It forms part of the supermarket’s target to reduce plastic packaging by 50% by 2025 and follows a switch to 100% recyclable cardboard packaging on all own-brand porridge pots last year.
Luke Emery, Plastics and Packaging Director at Aldi UK, said: “At Aldi, we are committed to reducing the use of plastic across our products and this latest change is another example of our ongoing progress.
“We know our customers want to make sustainable choices when they shop with us, which is why small steps like this can make a big difference.”
