Plastic bags have checked out permanently at Loblaws stores.
The company that owns Superstore among others is removing the single-use option for customers. They’re now encouraging people to bring reusable bags when shopping.
Loblaws says, their efforts to reduce single-use plastics have already resulted in 13 billion fewer bags winding up in landfills.
Canada banned the import and production of single-use plastics such as bags last year. Stores will no longer be able to sell them as of this upcoming December.
