As the company fulfills these steps in 2019, it is eliminating more than 1 million pounds of plastic from stores.
Trader Joe’s announced plans to revamp its packaging to become more sustainable, “taking into consideration our customer feedback and our desire to be great neighbors,” the Monrovia, Calif.-based company said in a statement.
“While most of the plastic in our packaging has the highest recyclability acceptance rate in the U.S., reducing the amount of plastic packaging in our stores is another important focus of our sustainability,” the company adds.
