Aldi Ireland is launching two wines onto the market, packaged in new, lightweight, fully recyclable ‘flat’ PET plastic bottles.
The retailer is bringing Chapter & Verse Shiraz and Chardonnay (both 75cl and €7.99) to the market in the new bottles, made from 100% recycled PET.
Aldi is setting a new standard, to ensure that shoppers can sip more easily this summer, as the first Irish supermarket to offer own-brand ‘flat’ recycled PET wine bottles.
The new bottles are easier to handle, less likely to break, and offer a reduced carbon footprint.
The innovative bottles cut down on waste and feature a compact design that enables 30% more bottles to fit onto each pallet, reducing the need for lorry transportation by 30%.
This translates to lighter shopping bags for the shopper and a reduced environmental footprint in the supply chain.
The eco-friendly bottles are perfect for a variety of summer occasions, from casual gatherings, barbecues and parties to camping trips and festivals, such as Electric Picnic.
Chapter & Verse wines deliver the same taste and quality that Aldi has always provided, while offering a more sustainable packaging option for consciously minded customers.
The new PET bottles have also been approved for use via Ireland’s Deposit Return Scheme (DRS).
