We’re delighted that so many of you are loving our Ocado reuse products. Please help us to keep them circulating by handing back your empty vessels (with lids on) to your driver on your next delivery.

A little about Ocado Refill-Reuse

This product is part of a pilot of a new reusable packaging scheme to reduce the use of single-use packaging from customers' weekly shops at no extra cost.

The Refill-Reuse products are only available in limited areas as we gauge customers’ interest in shopping for refillable products. However, we hope to roll it out, alongside other products, to more of our customers in the future!

How does Refill-Reuse work?

It’s really simple:

1. Add the Refill-Reuse products to your weekly shop and check out as usual. The products will then be delivered with your regular groceries.
2. Pour your rice and/or pasta into your own containers.
3. Return the empty containers to your driver the next time you receive your Ocado shop.
4. The empty containers will be washed, sanitised, and refilled again.
5. Repeat!

Ocado Penne Pasta
Dried durum wheat semolina penne rigate pasta.

If you love a hearty, baked pasta dish or a thick tomato sauce, then penne is the perfect choice. The short cut, hollow middle and rough texture of penne will help to capture the full saucy flavour of your dish in every bite. For cold picnic pasta dishes in summer, add to a bowl of chunky vegetables, chopped herbs and coat in a zesty dressing or creamy sauce.
