Co-op ditches bags for life to cut plastic use
The Co-op is to replace plastic bags for life with compostable and renewable carriers as it seeks to reduce the use of plastic.
The Co-opās initiative follows in the footsteps of grocer Morrisons, which earlier this month said it would become the first supermarket to stop providing bags for life.
The Co-op maintained that bags for life have ābecome the new single-use carrierā and that the switch would allow customers to buy a ālow-cost, low-impact bag with a sustainable second useā.
The retailer is rolling out compostable bags for 10p and sells its lowest-cost reusable bag for 50p.
