Ocado pays 5p per plastic bag returned by customers

Plastic luggage from other chains will also be collected, but customers will only be refunded for Ocado luggage returned.

The employed luggage are despatched to a recycling plant the place they turned into are pellets employed to make new luggage.  

The transfer comes as Ocado carries on to profit from virus-induced “remain at property” orders. 

Very last month it reported that full sales soared by a 3rd to £2.3bn for the 12 months to November. The company posted pre-tax losses of £44m, down from £215m final 12 months.

This strong retail performance was offset by increased investment decision in its robotic warehouse engineering company, as very well as paying out on choosing extra team and retooling its website to cope with the surge in need.

Ocado shares fell one.7pc to £21.01 in afternoon trading, valuing the organization at £15.7bn.
