Checkers Little Shop is back and it's environmentally friendly!

--:--
As part of the supermarket’s ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability, the minis are made from 100% recycled plastic - including discarded refrigerators, water bottles, and goggles - as well as FSC-approved, responsibly sourced cardboard and paper. The handy collector’s case is locally made and 100% recyclable.

Fun facts

• What could you do with 3 800 old refrigerators? Turn them into 798 000 Simple Truth Raw Honey minis.
• Or 80 000 pairs of old swimming goggles? Make roughly 10 Aquelle minis with each pair of goggles, of course.
• Energizer minis? Simply recycle approximately 125 000 x 500ml PET bottles.
• A 500ml PET bottle can be used to create roughly 6 Energizer minis or 10 Oh My Goodness! Spaghetti Bolognaise minis.
• In total, around 38 000 recycled refrigerators, 166 000 pairs of recycled goggles, and 210 000 PET bottles were used to create the Checkers Little Shop 3 minis.
