Waitrose and Lidl top Which? greenest supermarket ranking
Which? said Lidl scored above its rivals on emissions, while Co-Op did best on plastic recycling and Ocado beat the other supermarkets when it came to food waste as it redistributes almost all its surplus food. Which? said M&S was unable to provide comparable food waste data and was given a zero score in that area, but was also ranked lower than most of its rivals in the other categories. Which? said: "Supermarkets hold a lot of the cards when it comes to the sustainability of their operations but they also respond to customer behaviour, meaning consumers can also do their bit to help bring about positive change by avoiding packaging as much as possible, eating fresh local produce, cutting down on meat and dairy and not wasting food." Buy in-season food, which is more likely to be produced locally. Eat more plant-based foods, which have a lower carbon footprint.
