Coles' Innovative Move Towards Compostable Fresh Produce Bags in Western Australia
Coles Eliminates Single-Use Plastics
In a bold step towards sustainability, Coles has removed single-use fresh produce plastic bags from its stores across Western Australia. This initiative aligns with the state's upcoming plastic ban, effective September 1, aimed at reducing plastic waste.
Impact of the Change
By implementing compostable fresh produce bags, Coles will eliminate approximately 36 million conventional plastic bags from circulation annually. This change is pivotal in the drive to create a more sustainable and plastic-free environment.
