UK retailer Marks&Spencer (M&S) announced in January 2007 that it would spend around 200 million pounds (US$394 million) over the next five years going "green". It aims to become carbon neutral by 2012. Proposed measures include ensuring:
- all its packaging and clothing is biodegradable or compostable;
- none of its waste is dumped in landfill sites;
- it will label all products on its shelves that have been flown in from suppliers;
- trial using food waste to power its stores;
- trial using electric vehicles (Smith Trucks, manufactured by Tanfield Group Plc) for city centre logistics operations, with a view to replacing existing trucks where possible.
