A butcher has decided to roll out refills in an effort to move to zero waste for some of the food it sells.
Hollingsworths Store and Butchers, in Church Road, Chelmondiston, will have nuts, coffee, dried fruit, and loose leaf tea in biodegradable tea bags as part of its commitment to be more eco-friendly.
The refill station will work by people first weighing their container, being given a code, then filling up with what they need, and then taking their goods back to the scales to get the price.

Now in its 14th year, National Butchers’ Week is back. Following on from a year of lockdown-related uncertainty, a handful of Suffolk butchers explain why the local meat trade is so important to not just them, but to their customers and wider community as a whole.
So, just how has business been for Suffolk butchers over the past 12 months?
“From day one of lockdown, it’s gone from strength to strength,” explains James Doyle, one of the head butchers at Hollow Trees Farm in Ipswich.
