Introducing The Reuse Station

Our Trial at Tesco

After a 1-year long online trial, Tesco launched a range of 88 Loop products in ten of its stores. During 9 months, thousands of people have bought their daily groceries and household goods in reusable packaging.

The initial results of this first of its kind trial at Tesco were very encouraging. Customers highlighted their appetite to see the reuse scheme develop. This has paved the way for a new way of shopping to reduce the impact of plastic waste.

Withdrawal details

Once you’ve returned all of your products, feel free to withdraw your deposits from your account on the Loop app. You can do so at any moment.

The way it worked

1 - Shop your favourite products, redesigned to be waste free

Visit the Loop Reuse Station at selected Tesco stores to buy a wide selection of products from leading brands in zero waste, refillable packaging.

2 - Don't forget to grab a Return bag

Say goodbye to plastic bags and take your products home in the waste-free Return bag. What’s more, the returnable bag allows you to drop off multiple containers at once and makes returns even simpler.

3 - Return your empty packaging

Once you’ve enjoyed your product, simply drop off your empty container at your nearest Loop Return Point using the Loop Deposit App and get your deposit refunded. Loop collects the empty packaging to be professionally cleaned and refilled, before arriving back in the stores for the next customer.

Two Return Options

I have a Return bag

Fill it with your empty containers, scan the QR code on the bag using the Loop Deposit App, and drop it in the Loop Return Point.

I don’t have a Return bag

Simply take a QR code sticker from the Loop Return Point and stick it to your Loop product. Then use the Loop Deposit App to scan the QR code, before dropping the container in the Return Point.

The Loop Deposit App

Download the Loop app to find your nearest Loop shopping and return point, scan and return your empty containers and manage your deposits on the go. Reuse has never been so easy.
