ASDA has launched its first Scottish refill store in Glasgow.
The Toryglen branch now features a range of branded - including Kellogs, Napolina, and Yorkshire Tea - and own-brand products sold in loose format.
The move is part of the supermarket's drive to reduce plastic and help customers shop more sustainably.
Over 60 products such as pasta, rice, tea, coffee, and cereals are now available to purchase loose and unpackaged within specific aisles of the Southside store.
Customers can use their own containers or purchase reusable containers in-store.
Unpackaged products will be the same price or cheaper than their packaged equivalents.
It follows the successful launch of Asda's first refill store in Leeds last October.
Susan Thomas, Director of Commercial Sustainability at Asda said: "We have chosen Scotland as the location for our second refill store because it is an important market for Asda and a place where we regularly receive constructive feedback from our customers.
"This feedback is very important to us as we refine our refill offering in stores and work towards a goal of making refill and reuse part of every shopping trip.
"With COP26 coming to Glasgow, there has certainly been an increase in interest in environmental issues across the country, so to see refill land in the host city and with such engaged customers is a really important moment for us."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
