By 2025 Lidl Hellas is committed to further reduce plastic by 20% and use 100% recyclable materials in private label product packaging.
These measures are part of REset Plastic , Schwarz Group’s international strategy for plastics, in which Lidl Greece is also involved.
The Schwarz Group, which owns the Lidl and Kaufland retail chains and is one of the largest trading companies internationally, recognizes and assumes its environmental responsibility. Under REset Plastic , it has developed a holistic, international strategy that encompasses five areas of action: avoidance, (re) design, recycling, removal and research. This reduces the use of plastic and closes the cycle in a circular economy.
The areas of action of the REset Plastic initiative are:
REduce / Avoid
Avoid using plastic where possible and viable
REdesign / (Re-design)
(Re-designing) products to be recyclable and to close the cycle in the context of the circular economy
REcycle
Collection, sorting, recycling and closure of the raw material life cycle
REmove / Remove

REsearch
