Aldi has introduced a major change across its stores. <\/p>\n

The German retailer revealed it will be removing wooden forks from its Food to Go range.<\/p>\n

It could mean a different experience for shoppers who pick up sushi, salad and pasta pots from the store.<\/p>\n

But the announcement will help to save 28 tonnes of cutlery from being thrown in the bin.<\/p>\n

The supermarket said the change has been implemented across all of its 990 UK stores.<\/p>\n

Customers are now being encouraged to use reusable options when buying items from the range.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The move is set to help the UK's environment.<\/p>\n

Luke Emery, Plastics and Packaging director at Aldi, said: "We are constantly reviewing ways to become more environmentally friendly, and this is another positive change to help us make a difference.<\/p>\n

"This will result in a significant reduction in single use materials and help customers to make more environmentally friendly choices."<\/p>\n

Aldi isn't the only business to change its cutlery policy to be more green.<\/p>\n

In November last year, McDonald's scrapped plastic cutlery and introduced paper-based knives, forks and spoons.<\/p>\n

The company said it will stop 858 metric tonnes of plastic going to waste each year.<\/p>\n
