STICK THE KETTLE ON! 286 MILLION ALDI PRIVATE LABEL TEABAGS NOW FULLY BIODEGRADABLE
20 October, 2021
Market leader Aldi introduces compostable teabags across all 148 stores
Aldi customers are to become the first to enjoy their hot cuppas sustainably as Aldi introduces new fully biodegradable teabags made from plant-based materials across all its own-label ranges. The switch, which is a first in Irish supermarkets, means each of the 286 million Aldi teabags sold every year will be biodegradable.
From mid-October, customers will start to see the new 100% biodegradable teabags across all of Aldi’s 148 Irish stores, with the full range landing in stores by December. Customers will be able to easily dispose of their teabags by placing them in their compost heap at home or putting them in their brown compost bin. Tea drinkers can rest assured their favourite hot drinks will taste as good as ever.
