“Based on calendar year 2023 sales, we estimate we will remove 28 tonnes of plastic from the supply chain each year by moving to 100% plastic free packaging with ELTA. This is the equivalent weight of two fire engines! A huge win for Halfords and in no small part down to ELTA’s hard work in enabling us to achieve this goal.”
