Walmart eliminating single-use bags in more states
Walmart is expanding sustainable choices, helping reduce waste and introducing new circular business models.
In celebration of Earth Week, the retail giant detailed some of its customer initiatives to advance sustainability across the chain. These include expanding its efforts to reduce single-use bags to four more states in line with local regulatory changes.
As of this week, Walmart stores in Delaware, Oregon, Washington, D.C., and Washington State will not offer single-use bags at the front-end or pickup. By eliminating single-use bags in a total of 10 states in the U.S. as well as Walmart Canada and Mexico, Walmart said it anticipates avoiding the use of almost 2 billion single-use plastic and paper bags every year.
“And by the end of this year, we aim to allow most Walmart customers to opt out of bags for their pickup orders nationwide,” the company stated.
