Tesco aims to slash waste by 50% by 2025 - a target that will go towards determining the share-based bonus for CEO Ken Murphy.

Tesco shoppers could be in for a treat as the supermarket giant is trialling a new process that will see it give away free food to customers

The supermarket is trialling a scheme which will allow customers to take any remaining yellow sticker items for free at the end of the day.

While all major supermarket chains partner with food banks and community groups to redistribute surplus food and offer discounts on expiring items, Tesco's initiative appears to be the first direct-to-customer scheme of its kind in the UK.

The supermarket said the expiring food will be offered to charities and shop workers before customers could take it.
