THE “RESET RESOURCES” STRATEGY
As a retailer, Lidl consumes resources and generates waste. All of the company's departments are mobilized to reduce the impact of our operations, and our suppliers are supported to maximize the eco-design of packaging for private-label products.
With their holistic and jointly developed circular economy strategy, REset Resources, the companies of the Schwarz Group have set ambitious goals regarding resource sovereignty and security of supply.
By introducing this strategy, the Schwarz Group companies are jointly committing to guiding principles and packaging targets that, for the first time, encompass all types and materials of packaging.
Our goals
We will make the packaging for our private-label products as recyclable as possible by 2030.
We will reduce virgin material in single-use packaging for our private-label products by 15 percent (absolute) by 2030.
We will collect and recycle the same quantity of recyclable materials as we put into circulation with our private-label packaging and our household leaflets by 2030.
By the end of 2030, the companies of Schwarz Group will reduce their food waste by 50%.
We will transition to nearly 100% multi-use pallets for our internal picking processes by 2027.
We will use 30 percent recycled material in the primary plastic packaging for our private-label products by 2030.
We will use 65 percent recycled material in our private-label packaging by 2030.
