Sainsbury’s has moved to introduce new packaging across bakery, reducing over 560 tonnes of plastic a year. Sainsbury's has introduced new packaging across its bakery range in a bid to reduce plastic waste with products including pastries, doughnuts and baguettes from it's in-store bakery being affected.

All doughnuts and pastries previously in plastic clam-shell style packaging are switching to cardboard and paper packaging. In-store bakery bread will see up to a 60% reduction in plastic through the removal of full plastic bags.

These have been replaced with recyclable paper bags with a plastic window, saving around 152 tonnes of plastic a year. The full list of products impacted by the change includes BySainsbury's almond croissants x2, BySainsbury's Danish raisin whirl x2, BySainsbury's Danish cinnamon whirl x2, BySainsbury's Danish maple and pecan plait x2 and BySainsbury's pain au chocolat x2.
