Our commitment to the Environment and Plastic Reduction

In Mercadona, we endeavour to review and improve our wrappers and containers so they can be the best for the content and may guarantee food safety and quality.

As a company responsible to society and the environment, we aim to reduce plastic waste and eventually convert residue into a new resource through circular economy principles and specific actions such as:

− Optimization of material in each container
− Recyclability of all containers
− Reprocessing of plastic waste that originates in our internal processes. 
− Information on the container indicating how to sort the item at home

Find out more on our website. In the section Let's protect the Planet you will learn about:

− Our advances in the field of sustainability and plastics.
− Basic educational contents on recycling (for example, which skip should be used; also, there is a downloadable guide with colours to know how to sort the waste at home).
