Albert Heijn Removes Free Plastic Bags From Fruit And Vegetables Section
Dutch retailer Albert Heijn has removed free plastic bags from its fruit and vegetables department, in a move that it says will save 243,000 kilograms of plastic per year.
From now on, customers can use sustainable fresh bags that are washable and suitable for multiple use.
Shoppers use plastic bags at Albert Heijn to collect various items of produce, such as loose apples or green beans.
If not recycled properly, the bags can cause damage to the environment.
Previously, the retailer has tackled plastic bags in its grocery delivery services by allowing customers to return them to the delivery person.
The initiative enabled the retailer to recycle 645,000 kilograms of plastic (31 million bags) in a responsible manner on an annual basis.
