Tesco avoids landfill

Tesco successfully diverts all waste from landfill

,H4.,b.Tesco has reached another milestone in its drive to go green by diverting 100% of its UK waste away from landfill.

Europe’s biggest retailer generates about 531,000 tons of waste each year, the weight of 75,000 double-decker buses.

Approximately 385,000 tons of that waste is recycled, leaving 146,000 tons that would normally go to landfill.

By making use of technology, however, Tesco has been able to achieve its goal of diverting all waste away from landfill a year ahead of schedule.
