We’re encouraging customers to reconsider their plastic bag habits.
Just as we’re committed to reducing packaging, we also want to help our customers use less plastic bags, in order to help the environment.
So, after the government introduced a 5p levy on single-use plastic bags, we went further than other major retailers and stopped offering them altogether in our stores.
Instead, we offer reusable ‘bags for life’. These are made of 100 per cent recycled content and are entirely recyclable. So, when they do wear down, we replace them for free, while recycling the old bag to be used again.
Backing recycling
We’re also encouraging customers to recycle bags. Customers can find plastic film recycling bins in our supermarkets – where they can recycle carrier bags and other types of plastic, such as bread bags. This helps keep plastic out of landfill, for the good of the planet.
