Removal of 9p bags for life after “single-use” research

March 26th, 2019

A leading UK supermarket is taking steps in the war on plastic waste following concerns that shoppers are throwing away bags for life after one use. A trial in Wales will see the 9p bags removed from sale, then if successful, the programme will be extended across the U.K. This national initiative could save up to 2,500 tonnes of plastics annually.
