The shiny metal supermarket shopping trolley. port of the landscape since the 1960s, is on the
way out. Sainsbury's is introducing
what it calls a bionic trolley, made of recyclable plastic,
which
is lighter, easier to control and,
in theory, lasts for ever. Its headquarters in Ashford, Kent,
has ordered 450 plastic trolleys and eventually the company plans to replace 250.000 metal ones
at its 395 stores. The new brightly coloured plastic trolley is made of a
substance called Durethan,
which is a recyclable material used for making cars. The only metal part of the trolley will be the
nuts used to hold it together. A Sainsbury's spokeswoman said that
unlike the existing metal
trolleys, which have to be removed from service if damaged and have an average life of seven
years. the new trolleys can be taken apart and repaired.
