BOOTHS has launched an initiative encouraging customers to bring their own re-usable containers to purchase fresh meat and fish from their counters. 

It is part of the retailer’s bid to reduce the amount of single-use plastic being used within the business. Booths, which has stores in Kendal, Ulverston, Kirkby Lonsdale, Carnforth, Milnthorpe and Windermere has already removed plastic cutlery from its takeaway counter products.

Booths Brand and Innovations Manager, Matt Bruno said ‘’We’re constantly striving to become a more environmentally friendly retailer.

"Enabling our customers to bring their own clean, lidded containers to purchase fresh meat and fish from our counters is a natural progression towards becoming more sustainable.’’
