The COVID pandemic is over. So why are bags still mandatory when my groceries are delivered?
If you get your groceries almost entirely home-delivered, you might end up with a dozen or so bags every week.
Unless you’ve found a way to reuse them, they end up in the recycling bin or landfill, and even though they are made of recycled paper – and not plastic that chokes waterways and harms wildlife – itPlastic is not good, but more paper bags is not better. I don’t need them. The trip to my fridge from the front door is short, but I assume bags are efficient for employees who pack and deliver my groceries.– where people ask and give items or help in their local suburbs – if anyone could use my glut of paper bags, and ideas included lining bins, or for compost or bonfires.
A Woolworths spokeswoman said it was the first major supermarket to remove soft plastic bags from checkouts in store earlier this year, and last week paper shopping bags became the default for online orders to “ensure we comply with a new Queensland government ban on plastic shopping bags that starts [September 1].”
