Whole Foods Market ban plastic bags and encourage shoppers to bring their own reusable bags.
Whole Foods Market who has chains across the US, Canada and the UK were giving away a frightening amount of plastic bags for customers to take their groceries away in, more often than not these bags were ending up in landfill.
The company has decided to take action and has launched a new campaign ‘Bring your own Bag’ encouraging customers to bring their own reusable bags. Further more the UK stores, Fresh and Wild operate an additional scheme whereby customers receive 5% off their grocery bill if they bring their own bags.
The company does offer paper bags in emergences however you would not be entitled to the 5% discount.
