Woolworths to stop selling plastic bags
In a bid to be a bit more environmentally conscious, and to comply with a new state law coming into effect from July, Woolies has announced it will no longer be selling it's $0.15 plastic reusable bag.
Instead, those who forget to bring their own bag will be offered a Woolworths paper bag for $0.20. These bags will also be used to fulfil online orders. The green fabric reusable bags and the Bag For Good will still be available.
Woolworths says currently around 80 per cent of its customers already bring their own bags, and it hopes this move will be a reminder for the other 20 per cent.
The move in WA could be a precursor to the same happening in other states. Would you be happy if Woolworths phased out plastic bags altogether?
