The store is powered entirely by renewable electricity and features a recycle unit for ‘soft plastics’.
The recycling unit allows Co-op’s own food packaging, including crisp packets, bread bags, lids from ready meals and yoghurt pots, biscuit wrappers and pet food pouches, to be collected for disposal.
In addition, the store provides compostable carrier bags as a replacement for single-use plastic bags for shoppers.

As part of this, the co-operative extended its partnership with Starship Technologies, a US-based company that develops autonomous delivery vehicles.
