MORRISONS IMPROVE ON PLASTIC BAN BUT WILL ASLO CASH IN!

THIS MOVE IS POSITIVE!

Morrisons has said it will remove all plastic carrier bags from its stores over the next year.

 
The supermarket chain will switch from offering plastic “bags for life” to a paper alternative.
 
Morrisons says the move will make it the first UK supermarket to stop using plastic carrier bags completely.
 
In recent years, all supermarkets have tried to cut plastics use. Some of Morrisons’ High Street competitors have initiatives of their own.
 
Waitrose is currently trialling the removal of its 10p bags for life from a number of its stores with a view to rolling it out more widely.
 
For its part, Sainsbury’s says its bags for life cost 20p to encourage customers to re-use them and are made from 100% recycled plastic.
 
Asda defended its continued use of plastic bags for life, saying they were a “sustainable alternative to single-use carrier bags… particularly given the concerns around CO2 emissions related to the paper-bag production process”.
