Only one other supermarket – Sainsbury's – backfills with general waste and under its system bin bags are put into large plastic crates that are washed each time before reuse. A spokesperson said: "We never have waste or recyclate on board our delivery lorries at the same time as products for sale in our stores."

Marks & Spencer backfills its food trucks with food waste, but this is stored in specially designed large cardboard boxes lined with a heavy plastic.

Asda, Morrisons and Waitrose all said they never transport general waste in their food lorries.

Neal Austin, Morrisons' logistics and supply chain director, said: "Technically, we would have a concern about the risk of contamination given the closed environment within the trailers. More importantly, we don't believe our customers would feel comfortable knowing that the fresh food they were eating had been delivered in a lorry that a few hours earlier had been carrying waste food products."

据英国《卫报》报道，英国零售连锁公司乐购

这家英国最大的零售商不再使用垃圾承包商从其600家大型超市里收取和处理日常垃圾

乐购的一名女发言人称，这个制度不会使用给消费者送货上门的小货车，更为环保。“近来，我们在一些商店中使用了一种处理垃圾的新方法，每年会减少两万次额外运输、减少4.5吨碳排放量。”
