As part of the trial, Aldi will also gather key insights in preparation for Scotland’s deposit return scheme, which is set to launch in July 2022.
Aldi Scotland regional managing director Richard Holloway said: “We hope local customers in Bathgate will embrace this trial and we will use their feedback to inform our plans as we prepare for the deposit return scheme roll out in Scotland.”
