06 May 2021 --- UK supermarket Co-op is removing plastic “bags for life” from sale in its 2,600 stores, warning the low-cost, reusable bag has become the new single-use carrier. As part of this move, and ahead of the new carrier bag levy increases, the convenience retailer will also roll out compostable carriers to all stores, ensuring customers can purchase a low-cost, low-impact alternative bag with a sustainable second use.
