Aldi has opened a brand new 'green' supermarket in Royal Leamington Spa, UK, which aims to reduce the average CO2 emissions produced by conventional supermarkets by two-thirds. This shop also includes a module from the Czech company MIWA, which offers shopping of dry products in reusable containers to customers. Reusable secondary packaging is provided as well - products are transported to Aldi in reusable capsules.

Goals and Impact:

MIWA's long term goal is prevention of single-use packaging waste. ALDI 's flagship "green store" aims to reduce carbon footprint emissions by two thirds. MIWA can help with that - compared to the single-use model, it lowers carbon footprint by 62 %, material footprint by 90 % and overall environmental impact by 71 %.
