Morrisons has opened its first low impact eco store in Little Clacton, Essex, which is expected to have 43% lower operational emissions than a standard store and holds the potential to be scaled up across the country.
Adaptations include a low carbon impact building, next generation fridges powered by CO2 from agricultural waste, roof solar panels (providing a fifth of energy!), rainwater harvesting for toilet flushing, a near zero waste back-of-house system, and facilities to recycle customers’ waste. The store also offers locally sourced products and implements a full range of biodiversity schemes,
