Aldi has announced a ‘massive’ eco-friendly change that will affect stores across Australia in the coming months.
The budget supermarket chain announced that it would replace the glass chest freezers in favor of cooling doors in the refrigerator compartments.
This change is intended to make Aldi’s frozen food department more visible without customers having to sift through piles of boxes.
While only select stores in New South Wales have been updated, Aldi is expanding the late-September trial to a further 15 stores in Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia.
Daily Mail Australia understands that each pilot store registered an energy saving of approximately 30 percent on cooling consumption.

The news comes after Aldi announced a new range of ready-to-eat delicious meals and side dishes starting at just $1.99.
The retail giant’s newly dropped range of “hearty” no-fuss dinners will be available for a limited time this winter.
Shoppers can treat themselves to tasty dishes, including pho bowls for $1.99, a chicken parm for $6.99, and lobster bisque pots for $9.99.

Urban Eats pho bowls cost just $1.99 each and come in chicken or vegetable flavors with a mix of spices and noodles.
Aldi shopping expert Kylie Warnke said the new limited-time range offers family-friendly meals for a month.
“The new range includes even more ready-to-eat winter warm meals, luxury treats and mock dinners for the family to enjoy at home – but most importantly, shoppers don’t dig deep into their pockets to enjoy them,” she said.
