The Co-op to launch eco-friendly Glastonbury pop-up
The Co-op will open the doors to its Glastonbury festival pop-up store tomorrow.
“The festivals are a great opportunity to push boundaries with new technology and this year we have been again trialling Deposit Return machines and have also introduced electronic counter cache machines,” says Alasdair Fowle, Head of Partnerships at Co-op.
Ten types of ready-made sandwiches in 100% compostable packaging will be on sale, in what the Co-op claims is a first for a national food retailer. Compost rubbish bins will be available at the site.
The retailer will also sell recyclable aluminium cans of spring water and refillable water bottles which can be filled from water taps on the site. Glastonbury has banned the use of single-use plastic bottles this year.
