A large British supermarket will give away free food, because the retailer promises to touch goals for reducing food waste and net goals.
Tesco has announced that all food products that are about to be available for absolutely no costs – prefer to go home with a customer than to end up in the bin.
The initiative, with yellow stickers, will be tested in a small number of explicit stores for customers who visit after 9.30 am.
At the moment, Tesco gives unsold food to charities – and this will continue, while the staff also get priority over items that were reduced earlier in the day.
Usually food products with a yellow sticker have a reduction of 90%.
But such items in the run -up to closing time are available for customers to take home for free.
Tesco said the move would allow it to 'continue with our drive to reduce food waste within our own activities', according to an internal memo, the Telegraph reports.
On her website, Tesco said that it wants to be 'CO2 neutral' by 2035 Just zero by 2050.

In 2023/24, the supermarket achieved a 61% reduction in absolute emissions from its activities compared to 2015, which exceeds its goal 2025 of 60%.
An explanation said: “We did this by using energy and cooling more efficiently and by taking 100% renewable electricity over the group.”
A spokesperson for the supermarket said: 'We are constantly looking for innovative new ways to reduce food waste.
“This test, in a small number of our explicit stores, will be able to take free remaining yellow -flocked articles at the end of the day after they have been offered for the first time to charities and colleagues.”
