24 Sep 2018 --- UK supermarket Co-op will see around 60 million plastic carrier bags removed in a phased rollout and replaced with a compostable alternative. The supermarket worked with Novamount and Flexopack on the development of the compostable bag which can be used to carry shopping home and then be re-used as food waste caddy liners. The compostable bags will be introduced to almost 1,400 Co-op food stores, initially in towns, cities and villages where the bags are accepted in food waste collections.
