The plastic dilemma

Plastic plays an important role in the packaging of food and everyday consumer goods, helping to protect products and reduce food waste. At the same time, plastic can have negative environmental impacts if it is not handled properly after use.

At Salling Group, we continuously work to reduce unnecessary use of plastic in our packaging and to develop packaging solutions that are better suited for existing recycling systems.

As Denmark’s largest grocery retailer, we collaborate with our suppliers on packaging design and material selection. We set requirements for packaging and continuously monitor developments in packaging, recycling, and relevant legislation.

At the same time, we aim to make it easier for customers to sort packaging correctly and to support more efficient handling of packaging after use.

Our ongoing focus is on improving packaging solutions and reducing their overall resource consumption wherever possible.
