Waitrose has unveiled its vision of environmentally conscious shopping, offering customers the chance to buy food and drink that is completely free of packaging as part of a ground-breaking trial for a large retailer.
In a new drive to try to eliminate unnecessary plastic and packaging, shoppers will be able to fill their own containers with a range of products from a series of dispensers, using the first dedicated refill station installed by a major UK supermarket.
In a trial starting this week at a Waitrose supermarket in Oxford, customers are being given refillable options for products including wine and beer, rice and cleaning materials, with prices typically 15% cheaper than the packaged alternative.
A standalone pick and mix range of frozen fruit and a borrow-a-box scheme to help carry shopping home are other new retail formats being tested by Waitrose at the Oxford shop.
Waitrose has transformed the store by removing hundreds of products from their packaging, although shoppers will still be able to buy the packaged versions if they wish.
Plastic waste has become a major environmental issue, with television programs such as Blue Planet exposing its detrimental effects on the oceans, and media coverage highlighting the dangers of a global plastic binge.
Waitrose is among the UK’s supermarkets which have signed up to the UK Plastic Pact— an industry-wide initiative to transform packaging and reduce avoidable plastic waste. However, retailers have been criticized for not doing more to tackle the issue at an earlier stage.
"This test has potential to shape how people might shop with us in the future so it will be fascinating to see which concepts our customers have an appetite for," said Waitrose’s Tor Harris.
Ariana Densham, an ocean campaigner for Greenpeace UK, said, "This is a genuinely bold step from Waitrose to trial food dispensers so customers can use refillable tubs and jars. Lots of supermarkets are starting to sell loose fruit and vegetables, but this kind of innovation could spark a refill culture that’s so desperately needed to cut plastics in mainstream shops.
"The top 10 UK supermarkets produce 810000 tonnes of throwaway packaging each year, so we need to see other major retailers taking plastic reduction seriously and following Waitrose’s lead."
A choice of 160 loose fruit and vegetables will be available, along with four different wines and four beers on tap to be taken home in reusable bottles and nearly 30 products including pasta, rice, grains, couscous, lentils, cereals, dried fruit and seeds available from dispensers.
The "unpackaged" model relying on refills has already been adopted by some independent retailers, delicatessens and farm shops but this is the first time it is being used at a national supermarket chain.
For the borrow-a-box scheme, customers will pay a £5 deposit which is refundable when the container is returned. A frozen pick and mix section initially selling fruit such as blueberries and mango will encourage shoppers to bring in their own containers.
How did Waitrose encourage its customers to shop for unpackaged products?
选项
A、By giving them discounts.
B、By offering delivery services.
C、By propagandizing its concept.
D、By removing packaged products.
答案
A
解析
推断题。A项“通过给他们折扣”,B项“通过提供送货服务”,C项“通过宣传其概念”,D项“通过移除包装好的产品”。第三段提到“customers are being given refillable options for products...with prices typically 15% cheaper than the packaged alternative”,即一些无包装的产品通常会便宜15%,折扣会吸引消费者购买此类产品,A项正确。虽然第五段提到Waitrose移除了数以百计的产品的包装,但是这只是为消费者提供了一种选择,并不能鼓励其购买无包装产品.D项是对原文的曲解。B、C两项原文未提及。故本题选A。
