Ocado Own Range: Your Questions Answered
You may have noticed that our Own Range packaging is looking extra snazzy lately. We’ve updated our tins, packets, boxes and punnets so they look even better on your shelves. Plus, we’ve made some of them even more sustainable or recyclable.
What will the new packaging mean for prices?
Even though our Our Own Range packaging has changed, our prices haven’t. We’re committed to bringing you great value on the Own Range products you know and love. You’ll also spot our red pound icon on many Own Range products. This icon lets you know which products we’re delivering value on. There are hundreds of them to find across the website, including fresh food, cleaning products, frozen and much more.

What has changed for the Ocado Own Range?
We’ve redesigned our Own Range packaging, but our top-rated quality and prices are staying the same. What’s more, redesigning our Own Range packaging wasn’t just about making everything look beautiful – we’ve also improved the sustainability of our packaging materials where we can.
How sustainable is the new packaging? Is it recyclable?
So far, we’ve removed 27 tonnes of plastic, 10 tonnes of paper and at least 9 million non-essential packaging components. Here’s just a few of the improvements we’ve made so far:
- Avocados are now packaged in a pulp tray with recyclable film.
- Stone fruits (like peaches and plums) no longer have nets or the huge labels attached with metal closures. They now arrive in a recyclable punnet with a film lid.
- Toilet tissue and kitchen towels are now made of 30% recycled plastic (saving 11 tonnes of virgin plastic).
- Egg boxes are now white and printed, eliminating the need for labels and making them easier to recycle.
