Eco-twist: eco-friendly choices thanks to the Eco-score
The Eco-score helps you make eco-friendly choices in our stores. Gradually easing into a more ecological life and diet is made a lot simpler. And that's good news for the planet ... and for you.
Do the Eco-twist
The Eco-twist is about preparing your favourite food more ecologically thanks to a few small adjustments. And you can do this by looking at the Eco-score. If you choose products with Eco-score A and B, your impact on the environment will be less. And you don't even have to make huge changes to your recipes. Do you give your dishes an Eco-twist too by buying ingredients with a lower environmental footprint?
This is where you find the Eco-score
Do you want to give your dishes an Eco-twist? Great! Then check the Eco-score of the products you put in your shopping basket. You can find the Eco-score:
- by scanning the barcode with the Xtra-app
- on the packaging of most of our private labels
- online on Collect&Go
