Reducing Plastic Use

Small changes can lead to big improvements. Join us and Say No to Plastic, enjoy a plastic-free life and cherish the Earth together.​

We have replaced plastic shopping bags with high-quality reusable paper shopping bags made from recycled materials.​

We lend ice gel pack at HK$5 instead of providing bags of ice. Customers can get their deposit back by returning them. Ice cubes are still available: customers can take them home free if they bring their own containers.​

We have replaced plastic bubble wrap with honeycomb paper wrap to protect fragile items.​

We protect meat & cheese with plastic-free paper to reduce use of plastic wrap.​

*Target to be available from 2024

A multi-functional self-service ECO station is available instore to recycle polyfoam, and reuse shopping bags and paper boxes, providing more green options to customers.​

Plastic reduction starts at the source; we concentrate our efforts on providing non-packaged fruits and vegetables.​

Where necessary, we offer paper bags for non-packaged veggies & fruit.​

The utensils we provide (trays, tasting cups and so on) are made of 100% whole plant and renewable raw sugar cane fibre, which is food safe and doesn’t contain harmful substances. They can be recycled, and biodegraded and composted together with food waste for a sustainable life cycle.​

Where necessary, we offer cutlery made from natural materials for takeaway items.​

The tissue we offer is made from bamboo pulp. Bamboo is one of the world’s fastest-growing plants, providing more fibre, releasing more oxygen and absorbing more CO₂ than most others. Not only is bamboo a sustainable and renewable raw material, but it is also biodegradable.​

Bamboo fibre paper towels and biodegradable disinfecting wipes are available for purchase at city’super, so you can also enjoy an eco-friendly lifestyle at home.​

We encourage customers to bring their own containers for food purchases. They can enjoy HK$3 rebate* at FusionDeli and RF1 counters at city’super when they do so.​

*Packaged food items excluded; Terms and Conditions apply: see in-store promotional materials or store staff for more details.​

Oyster Shell Recycling Programme

Since July 2021, we have partnered with The Nature Conservancy to trial oyster shell recycling at the oyster bars of some of our branches. The collected oyster shells are sorted and cleaned to make oyster reefs, which provide suitable homes for small marine animals and revitalise sustainable aquaculture.
