Take these 3 steps, add $500 million and create a circular economy for packaging

At Asda, our approach to sustainability is based on the belief that protecting the environment and saving people money go hand in hand. We have a really clear aims – to reduce the environmental impact of our operations, the goods and services we sell, and the suppliers that make them.  Packaging, it’s part and parcel of what we do. Without great packaging, many of our products wouldn’t make it to our stores, or your homes, in one piece. Some of our food wouldn’t be safe, others wouldn’t taste so good, and some things need to be packaged for extra protection as they are so delicate.  We’re focused on reducing and improving it and, since 2007, we have reduced packaging weight by 27 percent. But, it isn’t just about less packaging, it’s about packaging that keeps products at their best for longer, both in our stores and your homes.

Lotus may be embracing electrification but the British automaker is giving combustion engines a fitting send-off, with the 2022 Lotus Emira promising supercar focus with sports car pricing. Unveiled today, the Emira may be the last of the gas-only Lotus models, but it taps the automaker’s newest platforms and tech.  That means the Lotus Sports Car Architecture underneath, and a choice of two gas engines – including one new to Lotus, from partner Mercedes-AMG – delivering the performance. AMG’s 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four will be the standard drivetrain, while the 3.5-liter V6 from long-standing partner Toyota will be the upgrade.
