Regional retailer Booths continues to find ways to reduce the amount of single-use plastic being used within the business.
The family-owned grocery chain has launched an initiative encouraging customers to bring their own reusable containers to purchase fresh meat and fish from their counters.
Booths Brand and Innovations Manager, Matt Bruno said ‘’We’re constantly striving to become a more environmentally friendly retailer.
"Enabling our customers to bring their own clean, lidded containers to purchase fresh meat and fish from our counters is a natural progression towards becoming more sustainable.’’
Booths have already completely removed plastic cutlery for their takeaway counter products and inside Booths branded pre-packaged food to go options.
Thereby preventing 500,000 pieces of plastic cutlery being used within Booths each year.
