Friday, 30 August 2024, 15:42
Coles' Initiative for Sustainability
Coles has taken a significant step by removing single-use fresh produce plastic bags from all its stores in Western Australia. Starting September 1, this move aligns with the state’s plastic ban, which aims to remove 36 million conventional plastic produce bags from circulation. By implementing compostable bags, Coles is not only complying with regulations but also promoting environmental responsibility.
Impact on the Environment
- Reduction of Plastic Waste: The shift to compostable bags will greatly decrease plastic waste in landfills.
- Support for Sustainable Practices: This action encourages other retailers to follow suit in adopting greener alternatives.
- Consumer Awareness: By making this change, Coles actively raises awareness about the importance of sustainability.
