Morrisons has announced it will be the first UK supermarket to move away from plastic bags completely as it removes all plastic ???bags for life??? from every store nationwide, saving 3,200 tonnes of plastic per year. Customers will instead be able to purchase its paper bags which are reusable, recyclable, water resistant, tear resistant and can hold up to 16kg. A life cycle analysis carried out by Sheffield University has also shown that Morrisons paper bags have a lower carbon footprint than our plastic equivalent. Paper bags will cost 30p and be available alongside other reusable options including string, jute, cotton and reusable woven bags, priced between 75p and ??2.50.
